Explanation:

The complementary DNA (cDNA) is a region of DNA that is synthesized from an RNA template by using a reverse transcriptase enzyme. cDNA is usually used to clone genes from eukaryotic organisms in prokaryotes. cDNA cloning is a technique that consists of isolating and amplifying a self-replicating prokaryotic organism that includes in its genome a cDNA of interest. This technique enables the insertion of fragments of eukaryotic DNA (cDNA) into plasmids that subsequently are multiplied by cloning and finally sequenced.
