Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cut open the plasmid and "paste" in the gene. This process relies on restriction enzymes (which cut DNA) and DNA ligase (which joins DNA).

Insert the plasmid into bacteria. ...

Grow up lots of plasmid-carrying bacteria and use them as "factories" to make the protein.
