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.
