Best Answer

It is called a plasmid. Plasmids are extrachromosomal self-replicating circular forms of DNA present in most bacteria, such as E. Coli, containing genes related to catabolism and metabolic activity,and allowing the carrier bacterium to survive and reproduce in conditions present within other species and environments.

Splicing DNA from two different organisms produces a new DNA segment called?

When DNA contains parts from two or more organisms it is recombined. Recombinant DNA is often used in genetic engineering. A natural process of DNA recombination is called sexual reproduction.


What is a DNA molecule containing regions from different sources?

Chimeras. In genetic engineering, molecules of combined DNA are known as chimeras because they are produced by combining DNA from different species. Combined DNA is also known as recombinant DNA, since DNA from 2 sources has been recombined to produce it.
