It is then 'pasted' into an intermediary DNA molecule called a vector, which carries it into the host organism. Here it is copied many times — or cloned — as the host organism replicates. Ideally each cell of the host adopts the new gene and expresses it as the required protein product.” (Aldridge, 1996) B. Types…
