Recombinant DNA is DNA that has been created artificially.It is used in Genetic engineering to transfer the DNA to a recipient cell using artificial techniques .

Recombinant DNA is DNA made by recombining fragments of DNA from different sources. It is used in some plants and animals. It is used to recombine fragments of the animals or plants DNA.

Recombinant DNA is made by connecting fragments of DNA from different sources. It can be put into the host organisms chromosomes and it will use the DNA as it was its own. Some plants and animals that have recombinant DNA are known as transgenic organisms.

It means is been created artificially. They do it in genectice engineering to transfer the DNA. IT is used in plants and animals.

Recombinant DNA is artificially made. It is used in genetic engineering to transfer the DNA to another cell using artificial techniques. Some plants and animals that have recombinant DNA are know as transgetic organisms.

it is DNA made by recomdining frgments of DNA from different sources. it is in high bred plants. it helps get more from the plant.

what is recombinant DNA is DNA that is been created artificially. it may be used in having to be artificially instianated to have an offspring. it may be used to save the most endangered animals.

its dna thats artificially made. its used to transfer the dna. its transfered to a recipient cell.

It is Dna that has been created artificially. it is used in plants and animals. it can be put into the host organisms chromosomes and it will use the dna as it was own.

An example of recombinant DNA is when they combine certain parts of animals to create a peace of DNA that will make a healthy plant or animal. Recombinant DNA is when you make DNA artificially. It is used for the tranfer of DNA in Genetic engineering.

Recombinant DNA is artificial DNA. It is created in a lab and grafted into the recipient.

Recombinant DNA is when DNA is created artificially. It's used in Genetic engineering to make better plants and animals. Farmers can use this to produce a better crop, or ranchers use this to breed better animals (cows).

Recombinant DNA is DNA that is artificially created. It is used to transfer the DNA to another cell using the artificial process.

The DNA that you create artificially is called Recombinant DNA. This is used in some plants and some animals. This is used to recombine the fragments of the DNA of plants and animals.

Recombinant DNA is DNA made by recombined fragments of DNA from different sources. Genetic engineering is a faster and more reliable method for increasing the frequency of a specifc allele in a population. You have to cut DNA from one organism into small different pieces or species and that is partly what recombinant DNA is. Some plants and animals use this.

Recombinant DNA is made by connecting fragments of DNA from different sources. IT is used in engineering to transfer DNA to a receipent cell. An example is when they recombine fragments of animals.

recombinant DNA is used basically in plants and animals, and it is made by connecting, recombining fragments of DNA from different sources.
