Bacteria containing DNA from a foreign donor
A
plasmid
B
restriction enzymes
C
recombinant DNA
D
transgenic bacteria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ability to obtain specific DNA clones using recombinant DNA technology has also made it possible to add the DNA of one organism to the genome of another. The added gene is called a transgene, which can be passed to progeny as a new component of the genome.

Detailed explanation-2: -One important microorganism in recombinant DNA research is Escherichia coli (E. coli). The biochemistry and genetics ofE. coli are well known, and its DNA has been isolated and made to accept new genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Bacterial Transformation? Bacterial transformation is a process of horizontal gene transfer by which some bacteria take up foreign genetic material (naked DNA) from the environment.
