Detailed explanation-1: -"Option D” is correct. “Genetic material that incorporates DNA from multiple organisms best describes recombinant DNA". Explanation: Recombinant DNA is created by combining genetic material from different sources, which can involve taking DNA from one organism and incorporating it into the DNA of another organism.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -What is recombinant DNA technology? 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-4: -If the foreign DNA that is introduced comes from a different species, the host organism is called transgenic. Bacteria, plants, and animals have been genetically modified since the early 1970s for academic, medical, agricultural, and industrial purposes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Recombinant DNA technology is popularly known as genetic engineering.
