Recombinant DNA Technology refers to techniques that join together (splice) DNA strands from different sources thus forming DNA for new life.

Explanation:

It involves a series of procedures that are used to join together (recombine) DNA segments.

This is possible because DNA molecules from all organisms share the same chemical structure. Only the nucleotide sequence within differs from organism to organism.

Thus the nucleotide sequences used in this technique can originate from any species. Recombinant DNA technology can also create sequences that do not occur anywhere in nature.
