Genetic engineering is possible, because

A

The phenomenon of transduction in bacteria is well understood

B

We can see $DNA$ by electron microscope

C

We can cut $DNA$ at specific sites by endonucleases like $DNAase-I$

D

Restriction endonucleases purified from bacteria can be used in vitro.

(AIPMT-1998)

Solution

(d) Genetic engineering is the manipulation of genetic material of an organism using enzyme restriction endonuclease.

Nathans and smith $(1970)$ isolated the first restriction endonuclease. Jackson, symons and paul Berg $(1972)$ successfully generated recombinant $DNA$ molecules in vitro.
