Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

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: -Genetic engineering (or recombinant DNA technology) allows selected individual gene sequences to be transferred from an organism into another and also between nonrelated species.

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: -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: -Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome.
