The modified plasmid or phage DNA is called:
Correct answer: B. Recombinant DNA
- A. lone DNA
- B. Recombinant DNA
- C. cDNA
- D. rDNA
Explanation
Recombination is the process through which a new gene is inserted into a bacterial DNA "The plasmid". Then the restriction enzyme cuts, it leaves a "Sticky end" which helps a new gene to attach at that point. The new attached gene gives rise to several copies, the resulting copies are referred to as 'Recombinant DNAs'. Since it's a combination of genetic material from two different species.
