Solution

The correct option is B Recombinant - DNA
  • Recombinant DNA molecules are sometimes called chimeric DNA, because they can be made of material from two different species, like the mythical chimera.
  • A chimera is essentially a single organism that is made up of cells from two or more individuals—that is, it contains two sets of DNA, with the code to make two separate organisms.
  • R-DNA technology uses palindromic sequences and leads to the production of sticky and blunt ends.
So, the correct answer is 'Recombinant - DNA'.
