Step 1: Understand what gene cloning is. It is a process where a specific gene is copied to produce multiple identical copies.
Step 2: Identify a common application of gene cloning. One common application is producing insulin for diabetes treatment.
Step 3: Learn how gene cloning helps in producing insulin. Scientists clone the gene that makes insulin and insert it into bacteria, which then produce insulin.
Step 4: Recognize other applications. Gene cloning is also used to create vaccines and in gene therapy to treat genetic disorders.
