Detailed explanation-1: -Recombinant DNA Technology is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as “the joining together of DNA molecules from different organisms and inserting it into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture and industry.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Transgene: A gene from one organism inserted into another organism by recombinant DNA techniques. Transgenic organism: An organism resulting from the insertion of genetic material from another organism using recombinant DNA techniques.
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: -If the foreign DNA that is introduced comes from a different species, the host organism is called transgenic. Bacteria, plants, and animals have been genetically modified since the early 1970s for academic, medical, agricultural, and industrial purposes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Genetic Engineering For example, genetic engineering may involve adding a gene from one species to an organism from a different species to produce a desired trait.
