Options
- ABioprocess engineering
- BCloning
- CGenetic engineering
- DTransformation
Correct answer
C. Genetic engineering
Step-by-step solution
Genetic engineering involves techniques to alter the chemistry of genetic material (DNA and RNA), to introduce these into host organisms and thus change the phenotype of the host organism. Bioprocess engineering involves the maintenance of sterile ambience in chemical engineering processes to enable the growth of only the desired microbe or eukaryotic cell in large quantities for the manufacture of biotechnological products. Cloning is the process of making multiple identical copies of any template DNA. Transformat
