Name any three techniques used for introducing an alien DNA into a host cell and mention how ?
Marking-scheme solution
-Microinjection-recombinant DNA is directly injected into the nucleus of an animal cell.
-Biolistics or gene gun-Host cells are bombarded with high velocity micro- particles of gold or tungsten coated with DNA.
-Disarmed pathogen vectors -transfers the recombinant DNA into the host cells when allowed to infect
-Heat shock method-recombinant DNA is forced into competent bacterial cells by incubating the cells with recombinant DNA on ice, followed by placing them briefly at $\displaystyle 42$ degree Celsius (heat shock) and then putting them back on ice.
