Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following best describes recombinant DNA?
A
DNA that has genes from a different organism
B
DNA that is ONLY found in bacteria
C
DNA that is used for the Human Genome Project
D
DNA that is created by scientists for a variety of projects
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"Option D” is correct. “Genetic material that incorporates DNA from multiple organisms best describes recombinant DNA". Explanation: Recombinant DNA is created by combining genetic material from different sources, which can involve taking DNA from one organism and incorporating it into the DNA of another organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is recombinant DNA technology? 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: -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-4: -Recombinant DNA technology is popularly known as genetic engineering.
