Affinity chromatography
... free extracts and antibody purification from blood serum .
Possibly the most common use of affinity chromatography is for the purification of
recombinant proteins. Essentially proteins are tagged with a known affinity ligand in order to aid their purification. That is to say that the molecule has an ...

However, independent of sexual reproduction, genetic variations can occur within individual cells through
recombinant events such as mutation (random genetic change within a cell's own genetic code).
Similar to more complex organisms, bacteria also have mechanisms ...
