    This method of finding a gene is used when researchers know very little about the gene they are trying to find. This process results in a complete gene library: a collection of copies of DNA fragments that represent the entire genome of an organism.

    A) Cloning                                

    B) Shotgun cloning                               

    C) Gene synthesis cloning

    D) PCR

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :
