Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombinant DNA technology involves combining DNA from different sources or organisms and inserting it into a host organism, where it can replicate and possibly express the desired traits or produce the desired products. This process does not involve altering the function of a gene within the same organism (A), specifically knocking out a gene's function (C), or changing a gene's dominance or recessiveness (D).
