Mix the cDNA with the liver DNA.

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of all the living organisms except few viruses only where RNA acts as the genetic material. The eukaryotes genome consists of intron as well.

The complementary DNA is produced that are free from the introns. This cDNA can be used to identify the specific sequence and production of desired fragment. The cDNA must be mixed with the liver DNA and then the desired DNA must be produced in the specific vector to obtain the desired protein.
