Recombinant DNA technology is the most emerging technique for the production of DNA for the useful bio-materials like insulin. So to produce recombinant DNA two different DNA is rejoined. so cleavage...
Well recombinant DNA are DNA that have DNA parts from other organisms. The DNA from the organisms, at least two, are then combined using modern engineering techniques. -Hope I answered your question...
No, Recombinant DNA is a collection of methods to analyse and create DNA molecules from two 'unrelated' organisms and then combined into one.
