A recombinant life form is created when the genetic material that is produced by segments of DNA from different sources are joined to produce recombinant DNA. In simpler terms, it's when two sets of DNA are grafted together producing a hybrid of the two organisms that the DNA was extracted from. Normally, one set of DNA will be grafted with the other when it is still a living organism. An example could be avian DNA getting grafted onto the DNA of a living human, creating an avian/human hybrid.

Maximum Ride (a series by James Patterson) is a very good example of this.

The word you're looking for may be "recombinant".


In bateson and punnett experiments on sweetpea to confirm Mendel's dihybrid testcross why it is not possible that the parental forms are much less than the recombinant forms?

If the parental forms are much less than the recombinant forms in a dihybrid testcross in sweetpea, it suggests that the two genes are physically linked on the same chromosome. This violates Mendel's principle of independent assortment. Bateson and Punnett's experiments supported Mendel's findings by showing a 9:3:3:1 ratio of offspring, providing evidence for independent assortment.


What is a DNA molecule containing regions from different sources?

A DNA molecule containing regions from different sources is called recombinant DNA. This is often created in laboratories by combining DNA from different organisms or through genetic engineering techniques. Recombinant DNA technology has many applications in biotechnology and genetic research.


What is a recombinant chromatid?

A recombinant chromatid is a chromosome that has undergone genetic recombination, where segments of genetic material from two different chromatids have been exchanged during meiosis. This results in a shuffling of genetic information and contributes to genetic diversity in offspring.


How can bacteria be transformed with recombinant plasmid?

Bacteria can be transformed with recombinant plasmid by introducing the plasmid into the bacterial cell through a process called transformation. This allows the bacteria to take up the recombinant DNA from the plasmid and express the desired gene or trait encoded in the DNA.
