Fill in the blank. A new DNA that combines the DNA of
two different species in an organism is called a blank DNA. (A) Native, (B) wild-type, (C)
double-stranded, (D) recombinant.
DNA carries the instructions for
different characteristics in the form of genes. We can manipulate the DNA of an
organism and introduce useful genes by genetic modification. To do this, we can cut the useful
gene out from one organism and insert it into the DNA of another organism. When we combine DNA from two
separate sources to make new genetic information, we call this recombinant DNA.
Therefore, in the statement “A new
DNA that combines the DNA of two different species in an organism is called a blank
DNA,” the correct answer to fill in the blank is given by answer choice (D),
recombinant.
