    i am very confused about q.14 …is it correct?

      no the assertion is wrong because recombination is done in human dna using vectors like bacteria and yeast n reason is wrong because its not the desired gene that comes in every progeny

      @khan

      yeah question no 14 is almost correct because we aften transfer human gene to prokaryotic like bacteria not to yeast so the first is wrong and the second one is already cause its relate to first ….

      @khan

      yeah this one is right cause we are not transfer human gen into Eukaryots like yeast
