Question

Genetic engineering is also known as:

Options

• Natural selection or mutation breeding

• Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology or gene cloning

• Protein synthesis or enzymatic catalysis

• Bioprocess engineering or sterilisation methods

Answer 1

Genetic engineering is also called recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology or gene cloning, as it involves the creation of recombinant DNA and the transfer of genes via suitable vectors to new locations or organisms. These alternative names reflect the core processes and outcomes of genetic engineering.
