The Tools of Molecular Biology
Separating DNA - gel electrophoresis
DNA fragments are placed at one end of a porous gel and an electric voltage is applied.
The negatively-charged DNA molecules move toward the positive end of the gel.

Using the DNA Sequence
Cutting and Pasting
Enzymes that splice DNA together make it possible to take a gene from one organism and attach it to the DNA of another.
Such DNA molecules are called Recombinant DNA.

Using the DNA Sequence
Making Copies
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allows biologists to make copies of genes.
-DNA is heated to separate its two strands.
-Primers bind to the single-stranded DNA.
-DNA polymerase makes copies of the DNA

Transforming Plant Cells
Transforming Plant Cells
• A bacterium exists that produces tumors in plants.
• Researchers can inactivate the tumor gene and insert a piece of foreign DNA into the plasmid.
• The recombinant plasmid can then be used to infect plant cells.
