Concept explainers
To determine: The way in which recombinant DNA technology is used to create novel genotypes.
Introduction: Recombinant DNA technology (rDNA technology) is the laboratory method that involves the process of obtaining the desired sequence of DNA by obtaining the genetic material from multiple sources. Enzymes like ligase, reverse transcriptase, endonuclease, and polymerase are commonly used in rDNA technology.
Explanation of Solution
Novel genotypes can be created from virtually any organism by recombining the DNA from the donor with the genetic material of the suitable vector, which can be inserted into any target cell. The novel genotypes can be produced not only by inserting the individual genes in a precise manner but also to facilitate gene transfer without hybridizing techniques.
