In the preparation of recombinant DNA, the cut out ‘gene of interest’ from the source DNA and the cut vector with space are mixed and:
1. ligase is added.
2. the temperature of the apparatus is increased to 95 degree Celsius.
3. a suitable host cell is incubated with the fragments.
4. primers are added for annealing to DNA fragments.
