Gene cloning occurs:

1. when a phage transfers bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another.
2. when a bacterium takes up DNA from the surrounding fluid.
3. when a bacterium carrying a recombinant plasmid reproduces, thus allowing for the production of multiple copies of the recombinant plasmid.
4. when DNA is produced from an RNA template.
