We're cloning a gene of interest to us by sort of hijacking that biological mechanism by putting our gene on this plasmid and so our gene gets copied many times, as the plasmid gets copied many times.

我们克隆感兴趣的基因的做法,这个生物机制有点像是绑架,我们把基因绑在质粒身上,随着质粒被多次地复制,我们的基因也一起被多次复制

So the process of cloning DNA is taking a few strands of DNA of a gene that you're interested in and making many copies of them, that's cloning,you like to make identical copies.

所以DNA克隆的过程,就是用你所感兴趣的,基因的一些DNA链,来得到更多它们的拷贝,这就是克隆,复制出相同的拷贝
