A type of recombinant DNA technology procedure which involves removing a selected gene of interest from an animal, plant, or microorganism and then inserting and propagating it within a different host organism is known as _________.

Answer :

Answer: Genetic engineering

Explanation:

When a human gene is introduced into a DNA of a bacterial cell, the human gene codes for the protein interferon, a substance that increases our resistance to viral infection. So, through genetic engineering, the bacterium can carry out the instructions of the 'foreign human gene' and produce interferon, a human trait.

Thus, the procedure is a type of recombinant DNA technology called genetic engineering.
