Introduction
How to introduce DNA into a cell?
Pre-Requisites:
The host cells need to be made competent for DNA to get introduced.
Activity:
We use various biotechnological products in our day today life such as Bt Brinjal, insulin etc.
Real Life Question:
Biotechnology is the technique of using live organisms or enzymes from organisms to produce products and processes useful to humans.
