Genetics Question: Recombinant Technology

Question

Q: Medical researchers cannot develop a vaccine against a newly emerged pathogenic virus because they can't successfully weaken the irus. Design a molecular method to vaccinate people against the virus using a gene that encodes viral surface protein. Describe the method. Hint: use recombinant technology

Answer 1

Recombinant DNA is DNA that has been created artificially. DNA from two or more sources is incorporated into a single recombinant molecule.
