Inserting cDNA into a retroviral vector?..

... option: could I make the cDNA of the retrovirus using RT-PCR, then insert the cDNA of the gene into the vector, and later insert that vector into dividing cells of another organism? Theoretically, it's the retroviral cDNA that inserts itself into the host chromosomes, so maybe this would work?

Genetics with Mitosis and Meiosis

... B , and b on each side of the cell. Meiosis I is when the alleles separate, so you should only place one A or a and one B or b on each side of the dividing cell. The two forms of a gene are present on the two homologous chromosomes, and the homologous chromosomes are what separate. During meiosis ...
