Abstract
Recombinant DNA technology, also known as genetic engineering, has
revolutionized the field of molecular biology by allowing researchers to manipulate and
transfer DNA sequences between different organisms. This technique involves the use
of restriction enzymes to cut DNA molecules, which can then be spliced together to
create novel sequences. Recombinant DNA technology has numerous applications in
medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. For example, it has been used to produce
human insulin, growth hormone, and other therapeutic proteins. In agriculture, it has
been used to create crops with improved yield and resistance to pests and diseases.
However, the use of recombinant DNA technology also raises ethical and safety
concerns, and its regulation is subject to the ongoing debate.
Keywords: Agriculture, Biotechnology, DNA splicing, Genetic engineering, Regulation, Recombinant DNA.
