4.1 outline the principles of restriction enzyme use in removing sections of the genome


Genetic engineering is using technology to change the genetic material of an organism.



Recombinant DNA is a DNA that has had DNA from a different species inserted into it.





Restriction enzyme are used to cut genes from lengths of DNA. They cut across both strands of DNA at specific sites known as restriction sites as they are restricted to cut only at that particular site.
