Question

What does recombinant DNA technology fundamentally involve?

Options

• Separating DNA molecules by electrophoresis

• Combining DNA from two different organisms to generate new recombinant DNA

• Sequencing the entire genome of an organism

• Synthesizing DNA from nucleotide monomers in vitro

Answer 1

Recombinant DNA technology is defined as the process of combining DNA from two different organisms through artificial manipulation and engineering. This union of foreign DNA with vector DNA creates new genetic combinations not found in nature.
