the production of multiple copies of a specific gene

What role do plasmids play in gene cloning?
Plasmids are easily manipulated to carry many different genes and enable the rapid production of the desired protein due to the rapid replication.

In what instances would gene cloning be helpful?
For the production of a desired protein.

How are genomic libraries and cloned genes related?
Cloned Genes can be stored in the genomic libraries

What role does recombinant DNA have in gene cloning?
Recombinant DNA is a DNA molecule that has been manipulated to carry nucleotide sequences from two different organisms. If recombinant DNA plasmids are inserted into bacteria and the recombinant bacteria multiply, the resulting bacteria are clones in which the foreign gene is copied and these copies can make copies of its protein.

-polymerase chain reaction
-technique by which a specific segment of a DNA molecule can be targeted and quickly amplified in the laboratory
-starting with a minute sample automated PCR can generate billions of copies of a DNA segment in just a few hours producing enough DNA to allow a DNA profile to be constructed
STEPS:
1. the reaction mixture is heated to separate the strands of the DNA double helixes
2. the strands are cooled. as they cool, primer molecules hydrogen bond to their target sequence on the DNA
3. a heat-stable DNA polymerase builds new DNA strands by extending the primers the 5'>3' direction

What are sticky ends?
-Sticky ends are ends that have been cut by the restriction enzymes and have a specific DNA sequence that pairs with another part that has been cut by the same restriction enzyme. They fit together because of their base-pairing rules.
