Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Recombinant DNA technology can best be described as involving the:
A
design of farm equipment through computer imaging.
B
implementation of soil conservation practices.
C
manipulation of the genetic content of cells.
D
study of rock formations using global positioning satellites.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Recombinant DNA technology involves using enzymes and various laboratory techniques to manipulate and isolate DNA segments of interest. This method can be used to combine (or splice) DNA from different species or to create genes with new functions. The resulting copies are often referred to as recombinant DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Genetic engineering is defined as the direct manipulation of an organism’s genes including heritable and nonheritable recombinant DNA constructs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gene editing, based on a technology known as CRISPR-Cas9, allows researchers to customize a living organism’s genetic sequence by making very specific changes to its DNA.
