Solution

Recombinant is a general name given when a piece of one DNA is combined with another DNA giving rise to a new DNA. It is an organism or cell in which genetic recombination has taken place. It is produced by methods of genetic engineering.
When there is no foreign DNA insertion in the original genome, the structure is called non recombinant.
