An engineered DNA molecule that contains sequences from cattle and sequences from bacteria would be considered to be _______ DNA.
A) transgenic
B) recombinant
C) electroporated
D) genomic
E) complimentary

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A recombinant DNA molecule is created by combining DNA sequences from different sources, which is exactly what is described in the question - combining cattle and bacterial DNA sequences. Transgenic DNA typically refers to DNA that has been moved into a new organism to create a genetically modified organism (GMO). Electroporated DNA refers to the process of using an electric field to introduce DNA into cells. Genomic DNA refers to the entire DNA sequence of an organism, not just a portion that has been manipulated. Complimentary DNA (cDNA) is synthesized from messenger RNA and lacks introns, so it does not necessarily apply to this scenario.
