Explanation:

Question 4

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a technique specifically designed to amplify (produce many copies of) a desired segment of DNA. It uses repeated cycles of heating and cooling to replicate the DNA fragment.

Transformation is the process by which foreign DNA, such as recombinant DNA plasmids, is introduced into bacterial cells. Bacteria can take up these plasmids and incorporate them into their own genome, allowing for the expression of the genes on the plasmid.

A transgenic organism is created when DNA from one organism is inserted into the genome of another organism (often using recombinant plasmids). This results in the organism having new genetic material from a different species, which can give it new traits or characteristics.

Answer:

PCR
