Question:

Which one of the following techniques made it possible to genetically engineer living organisms?

X-ray diffraction

Hybridization

Recombinant DNA techniques

Heavier isotope labelling

Solution:

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) to bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in biological organisms.
