what is recombinant technology?

Answer 1

Definitions of recombinant technology on the Web:

A laboratory procedure that permits the production of large quantities of a particular protein. The gene for producing that protein is isolated and introduced into a cell (such as a bacterium or yeast cell), where it becomes integrated into that cell's own DNA. As a result, the cell produces the desired protein.

Answer 2

Recombinant DNA technology is a set of techniques for recombinant genes from different sources and transferring the recombinant DNA into other cells, where it may be expressed.

Answer 3

Developed in the early 1980s, Recombinant Technology is a process for the production of hormones using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Prior to its discovery, hormones were only extracted and purified from the urine of post-menopausal women. This is still a valid and effective method of reproductive hormone production today, and many thousands of couples experience success with treatment using this style of hormone. The development of Recombinant Technologies to produce hormones, however, is assisting in the two areas of fertility treatment that are key to improving ovarian stimulation and a person's chance of becoming pregnant:
