Scientists have recently modified the bacteria that cause tooth decay by inserting a fragment of DNA into the bacteria's DNA that prevents it from producing lactic acid. This new DNA is called recombinant DNA.

<h3>What is recombination DNA?</h3>

Genetic recombination is the exchange of genes between two DNA molecules to form new combinations of genes. Like mutation, genetic recombination contributes to the genetic diversity of a population, which is the source of evolutionary variation.

Bacteria have two mechanisms of genetic variability: mutation and gene recombination. Gene recombination occurs by three types of mechanisms: transformation, conjugation and transduction. Transformation is the incorporation of free DNA by the bacterial cell.
