A cell or an individual with a new combination of genes not found together in either parent; usually applied to linked genes.
In genetics and molecular biology, pert, to genetic material combined from different sources.
Segments of DNA from one organism artificially manipulated or inserted into the DNA of another organism, using a technique known as gene splicing. When the host’s genetic material is reproduced, the transplanted genetic material is also copied. This technique permits isolating and examining the properties and action of specific genes.
