Option B. Recombinant DNA technology is a technique that alters the phenotype of an entity (host) when a genetically modified vector is introduced and incorporated into the genome of the host. Thus, the process entails introducing a foreign fragment of DNA into the genome containing the desired gene. This particular gene that is introduced is referred to as the recombinant gene and the technique is known as the recombinant DNA technology. Embedding the gene of interest into the genome of the host is not as simple as it sounds
