DNA Molecules That Contain Pieces of DNA from Two Different

Question

DNA molecules that contain pieces of DNA from two different sources are defined as
A) biotechnology.
B) gene cloning.
C) recombinant DNA.
D) genetic engineering.
E) mutation.

Accepted Answer

Recombinant DNA refers to DNA molecules that have been artificially created by combining DNA sequences from two different sources through genetic engineering techniques. Biotechnology refers to the use of biological processes or organisms to create useful products. Gene cloning involves creating exact copies of a specific gene. Genetic engineering is a broad term that encompasses the manipulation of genes and DNA to achieve a desired outcome. Mutation refers to a change in DNA sequence that occurs naturally or as a result of exposure to certain agents.
