Which of the Following is a True Statement About Recombinant

Question

Which of the following is a true statement about recombinant DNA technology?
A)It is a single technique for genetic manipulation.
B)It involves the modification of an organism's genome.
C)It will replace biotechnology in the future.
D)It manipulates only the genotype.

Accepted Answer

Recombinant DNA technology involves the modification of an organism's genome by inserting or deleting specific genes, thus changing the phenotype of the organism. It is not a single technique, but a collection of techniques that are continuously being developed and refined. It is unlikely to replace biotechnology as it is a fundamental tool in biotechnology. And it manipulates both the genotype and phenotype of an organism.
