What is recombinant DNA technology?

Answer 1

recombinant DNA is a form of artificial DNA which is engineered through the combination or insertion of one or more DNA strands,there by combining DNA sequences which would not normally occur together.

Answer 2

DNA recombinant technology is a process in which a gene from one organism is spliced into the chromosome of another organism, such as a bacterium like E. coli, so that the recipient organism will produce the protein coded for by the spliced gene. As the bacteria reproduce they pass the spliced gene on to their offspring. Human growth hormone and human insulin are produced by this process. Recently, scientists have used DNA recombinant technology to make sheep produce spider silk in their milk. This is an inheritable trait, so that the genetically altered sheep will produce some offspring with the gene for producing the spider silk.
