    1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must
