RECOMBINANT DNA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Splicing together DNA from 2 different organisms is called
A
biotechnology
B
bioengineering
C
recombinant DNA technology
D
genetic engineering
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 is the joining together of DNA molecules from two different species. The recombined DNA molecule is inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture, and industry.

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: -Scientific definitions for gene splicing The process in which fragments of DNA from one or more different organisms are combined to form recombinant DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -How does recombinant DNA differ from normal DNA? Recombinant DNA is an artificial product synthesised outside the cell, whereas normal DNA are natural molecules synthesised inside the cell.
