Answer 1

Molecular cloning is a vast topic. To talk about molecular cloning within the specified time, you can consider the following topics provided below.

At first, an introduction should be provided. It should include what is cloning, then what is recombinant DNA etc. After introduction, information on discovery of this method and the objectives of molecular cloning should be stated.

Next, we should speak on the requisitions, mainly the major types of vectors and enzymes and their functions. Some examples should be provided.

After that, the whole cloning process should be described very briefly.

Next topic will be on the major advantages of molecular cloning. Some examples like insulin production via recombinant DNA technology should be given. Also provide some information on the ongoing researches.

After covering the above points , end your talk with a brief summary.
