Question:
Combination of foreign DNA and vector DNA are together called as _______.
Combination of foreign DNA and vector DNA are together called as _______.
Show Hint
Recombinant DNA refers to a molecule that has been created by combining genetic material from different sources.
Updated On: Apr 11, 2025
- Recombinant DNA
- Plasmid DNA
- DNA ligase
- Transformation DNA
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The process of recombinant DNA technology involves the combination of foreign DNA with vector DNA. A vector is a DNA molecule used to carry foreign genetic material into a host cell. The resulting combination of foreign DNA and vector DNA is referred to as recombinant DNA. The recombinant DNA is inserted into a host organism to study gene expression or produce proteins of interest. Thus, the correct answer is Recombinant DNA.
