Answer 1

ejection of parent nucleus
of that parent

Answer 2

The 1st step to insert the alien gene into a gene of any bacterium is of identifying the suitable point to add the alien genes into main gene of any bacterium.

In the cloning experiment, the researchers at first insert any piece of DNA i.e. gene into any circular piece of DNA named as plasmid.

The step uses various restriction enzymes and the DNA ligase.

It is called as the ligation.

After that, the DNA is transferred into the bacteria in transformation process.
