Jaundice is a condition that causes the skin of a newborn baby to turn yellow. This happens so because babies are born with extra red blood cells. After birth, the extra red blood cells break down and release a substance called bilirubin in the baby's blood. When there is too much bilirubin in the blood, the baby becomes jaundiced. <span>This condition may last for </span>3-12 weeks<span> after birth, but as long as bilirubin levels are monitored and the baby is feeding well, it rarely leads to any serious complications.</span>

Whole genes and parts of genes can be extracted from chromosomes, linked to other DNA molecules to form recombinant DNA and introduced into living cells. In a process known as gene cloning, the host cell's biochemical processes are used to make many copies of the inserted gene and the protein it codes for.
