This document discusses genetic engineering and cloning. It begins by asking why genetic engineering is done and what it is. It then discusses some applications of genetic engineering like using E. coli bacteria to produce biofuels or developing cheap, environmentally friendly batteries. The document also discusses cloning, noting Dolly the sheep as the first cloned mammal. It provides steps involved in cloning like isolation of DNA, insertion into a carrier or vector, transformation of a host cell, selection of transformed cells, amplification of rDNA, and cell multiplication.
