Cloning & Transgenesis,

Cloning, the process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. Cloning happens often in nature-for example, when a cell replicates itself asexually without any genetic alteration or recombination. Transgenesis refers to the process of introducing transgene (i.e. an exogenous gene) from one organism into another with the intent of enabling the latter to exhibit a new property that can be transmitted to its offspring. It can be done by the use of liposomes, plasmid vectors, viral vectors, pronuclear injection, protoplast fusion, and ballistic DNA injection.
