Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Recombinant DNA technology is popularly known as genetic engineering. The recombinant DNA technology emerged with the discovery of restriction enzymes in the year 1968 by Swiss microbiologist Werner Arber, Inserting the desired gene into the genome of the host is not as easy as it sounds.
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.
