  Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)is a long double- stranded chain of nucleotides Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a long double- stranded chain of nucleotides • DNA is made up of four nucleotides: A, C, G, and T. • A always pairs with T. • C always pairs with G. • The two strands of DNA are in an antiparallel configuration. • DNA is made up of four nucleotides: A, C, G, and T. • A always pairs with T. • C always pairs with G. • The two strands of DNA are in an antiparallel configuration.

  • Recombinant DNAis widely used in biotechnology, medicine and research. • Golden rice: a recombinant variety of rice that has been engineered to express the enzymes responsible for β- carotene biosynthesis. • Herbicide-resistant crops. • Insect-resistant crops. • Recombinant Chymosin: Found in Rennet, is an enzyme required to manufacture cheese. • Recombinant DNA is widely used in biotechnology, medicine and research. • Golden rice: a recombinant variety of rice that has been engineered to express the enzymes responsible for β- carotene biosynthesis. • Herbicide-resistant crops. • Insect-resistant crops. • Recombinant Chymosin: Found in Rennet, is an enzyme required to manufacture cheese.
