The Genetic Molecular Material That Has Been Spliced Together from Multiple

Question

The genetic molecular material that has been spliced together from multiple organisms is
A) RNA transcriptase.
B) a zygote.
C) any specific protein produced from a gene.
D) recombinant DNA.
E) both (either) RNA transcriptase, and any specific protein produced from a gene.

Accepted Answer

The term "splicing" typically refers to the process of combining genetic material from multiple sources to create recombinant DNA. This process is commonly used in biotechnology to engineer new traits or functions into organisms, and the resulting genetic material is often referred to as "recombinant DNA." RNA transcriptase is an enzyme involved in the transcription of genetic information from DNA to RNA, and a zygote is a single cell formed by the fusion of two gametes. While any specific protein produced from a gene may be affected by splicing, this term typically refers to the manipulation of DNA rather than the expression of specific proteins.
