In two to three sentences, explain how the creation of recombinant dna is like cutting and pasting.
Creating recombinant DNA is same as cutting and pasting of DNA.
It involves the isolation of specific DNA segments from different sources, which are then cleaved using restriction enzymes (cutting) and subsequently joined together using DNA ligase (pasting) to form a new, hybrid DNA molecule with combined genetic material.
This process allows scientists to manipulate and engineer genes, much like editing a text by rearranging and combining different sections.
