<< previous question next question >>

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: DNA sequencing is about determining the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule, not combining DNA from multiple organisms.
• Option B: Recombinant DNA technology involves combining DNA segments from different organisms to create a new DNA molecule, which matches the description.
• Option C: Personalized medicine uses an individual's genetic profile for medical treatment, not combining DNA from multiple organisms.
• Option D: DNA synthesis is the creation of new DNA, usually in a laboratory setting, but not specifically combining DNA from multiple organisms.

Answer:

B. Recombinant DNA
