Which best describes recombinant DNA?
A
DNA that has been deactivated by enzymes
B
DNA found in organelles other than the nucleus
C
inserted genes from one organism into another to direct it to produce a protein
D
genes developed when an egg nucleus and a sperm nucleus fuse to form a zygote
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Genetic Engineering For example, genetic engineering may involve adding a gene from one species to an organism from a different species to produce a desired trait.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once a recombinant plasmid is made that contains a gene of interest, such as insulin, the plasmid can enter bacterial cells by a process called transformation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Recombinant DNA: DNA which has been altered from its original form by joining genetic material from two different sources. It usually involves putting a gene or part of a gene obtained from one organism into the genome of a different organism.
