The development and use of ____ ushered in the era of genomics when geneticists began planning ways to sequence the 3.2 billion nucleotides in the human genome.
A) transmission genetics
B) the electron microscope
C) recombinant DNA technology
D) cytogenetics
E) karyotypes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombinant DNA technology involves the manipulation and recombination of DNA molecules, which paved the way for the sequencing of the human genome. With this technology, large pieces of DNA can be cut into smaller fragments that can be sequenced and put together to create a complete sequence. This technology has revolutionized genetics and allowed scientists to study the complete set of genetic information in organisms.
