To make recombinant DNA,
A) two nonhomologous chromosomes are induced to undergo crossing-over during meiosis.
B) the entire genome of one organism is fused to a plasmid.
C) pieces of DNA from different organisms are cut with restriction enzymes and then joined together.
D) DNA polymerase is used to make multiple copies of the DNA sequences of two organisms at the same time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombinant DNA is created by cutting DNA from different organisms using restriction enzymes and then joining the pieces together. This process allows for the creation of new combinations of genes that may not exist naturally. Options A and B are not accurate descriptions of the process of making recombinant DNA, and option D describes a process of DNA replication rather than creating recombinant DNA.
