NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -So, the correct option is ‘any kind of cells’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasmids with foreign DNA inserted into them are called recombinant DNA molecules because they contain new combinations of genetic material. Proteins that are produced from recombinant DNA molecules are called recombinant proteins. Not all recombinant plasmids are capable of expressing genes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Indirect gene transfer: In this method, a vector is used to insert the foreign DNA into the host cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -General principles of transgenesis. Transgenic organisms contain foreign DNA that has been introduced using biotechnology. Foreign DNA (the transgene) is defined here as DNA from another species, or else recombinant DNA from the same species that has been manipulated in the laboratory then reintroduced.
