Recombinant dna technology is a set of molecular methods used to isolate, manipulate, and study dna. what does recombinant mean, in this case?

Recombination refers to the process by which the fragments of the DNA molecules (either from one or two species) are isolated, cut and inserted into the host strand. The inserted DNA fragment may be directly replicated on its own or through the integration with the host chromosomes. The resulting strand will difer from the old strand.
