The DNA that has been altered and which now contains the length of nucleotides from two different organisms is called a:
Correct answer: D. Recombinant DNA
- A. Plasmid
- B. Combined DNA
- C. Vector
- D. Recombinant DNA
Explanation
Recombinant DNA technology involves the joining of DNA molecules from two different species. The Recombinant DNA molecule is inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture, and industry. Vector is the in-between to transfer anything from one organism to another. Combined DNA is not even a word. A plasmid is a small DNA extra found in some bacterium.
