This is the practice of inserting the DNA of another species into an organism’s DNA so that the organism gains a new trait.
A
Cloning
B
Gel Electrophoresis
C
Genetic Engineering
D
DNA Fingerprinting
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Genetic Engineering: The process of manipulating the genetic material of organisms, also known as biotechnology. Gene Transfer: The introduction of new DNA into an existing organism’s cell, usually by vectors such as plasmids and modified viruses.

Detailed explanation-3: -A transgenic, or genetically modified, organism is one that has been altered through recombinant DNA technology, which involves either the combining of DNA from different genomes or the insertion of foreign DNA into a genome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transduction. Transduction is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell by a virus or viral vector. Genetically modified viruses can be used as viral vectors to transfer target genes to another organism in gene therapy.
