RECOMBINANT DNA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Define recombinant DNA technology
A
A method in which same DNA from same organisms is spliced (combine) together in the laboratory
B
A method in which DNA is spliced together in the laboratory
C
A method in which different DNA from same organism is spliced (combine) together in the laboratory
D
A method in which DNA from different organisms is combined together in the laboratory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Recombinant DNA technology involves using enzymes and various laboratory techniques to manipulate and isolate DNA segments of interest. This method can be used to combine (or splice) DNA from different species or to create genes with new functions. The resulting copies are often referred to as recombinant DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Recombinant DNA technology comprises altering genetic material outside an organism to obtain enhanced and desired characteristics in living organisms or as their products. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from a variety of sources, having a desirable gene sequence via appropriate vector [12].

Detailed explanation-3: -Recombinant DNA, or rDNA, is the term used to describe the combination of two DNA strands that are constructed artificially. Genetic scientists can do this to create unique DNA strand for different purposes, using several types of techniques.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is a method that is used to alter the DNA of an organism to obtain the desired characteristics in them. This can be achieved by inserting the desired gene from another organism into its genome with the help of a vector. Vector is the vehicle that carries the gene of interest.

Detailed explanation-5: -Recombinant DNA technology involves the joining of DNA from different species and subsequently inserting the hybrid DNA into a host cell, often a bacterium.
