Recombinant DNA is genetically modifying/engineering genetic material by combining the DNA sequences of two different organisms into one (gene splicing), thereby creating a new organism or improving an already existing organism.

When you join covalently the the gene(DNA )of one organism with another by ligase, you end up getting a hybrid DNA.By this you have simply combined the DNA of two different organisms.When this combined DNA is used for the purpose of inserting and integrating into the genome of another organism, this hybrid DNA is called RECOMBINANT DNA.
In simple language, DNA which has combined (or is going to combine ) twice is recombinant DNA.

the DNA formed by joining the DNA segments of 2 different organisms is called recombinant DNA / r DNA / chimeric DNA. the gene is transfered into the cell in the form of r DNA.

when any foreign dna segment is introduced into the host dna by artificial means ie. recombinant dna technology
it involves following steps
1] isolation of desired gene from any source like plant animal micro organisms or it can be synthesised artificially.
2] insertion of this donor gene into a vector or carrier molecule like plasmid or phage
3] introduction of this vector into donar cell like e-coli for multiplication and expression

The DNA of two or more source is called recombinant DNA.
