Biotechnology is:

Technological application in living system to make products or processes for specific use.

The Word Biotechnology itself says Biology + Technology.

Recombinant DNA/ rDNA :

Artificial DNA resulted from the Molecular cloning of two or more different species DNA sequences.

Biotechnology is the application of technological principles to living organisms to produce products that benefit mankind.

Recombinant DNA is a hybrid of two different DNA from2 different species.

Biotechnology is the use of the Biological processes to produce beneficial products.

Recombinant DNA is that part of DNA which has been introduced into a plasmid vector and then used to transform E. coli or any other host cell for the sake of production of huge amount of enzyme, hormon or any other proteins.

Biotechnology is using of biological  systems and processes to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life.

Recombinant DNA is joining two different DNA moleculs from two different organism then insert into a host organism in order to produce a new genetic combination geving benetifs to science, medicne, industry and agriculture.

At its simplest,   Biotechnology is any technology that uses a living system for the benefits of man.

Recombinant DNA or rDNA is the combination of two or more unique DNA strands that are joined together artificially in laboratory conditions for different purposes.

Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of bioengineeringbiomedical engineeringbiomanufacturingmolecular engineering,

Recombinant DNA is the general name for a piece of DNA that has been created by the combination of at least two strands. Recombinant DNA molecules are sometimes called chimeric DNA, because they can be made of material from two different species, like the mythical chimera. R-DNA technology uses palindromic sequences and leads to the production of sticky and blunt ends.

Artificial dna resulting from the combination of two different Dna by the mean of cloning

Biotechnology is the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life.

Recombinant DNA is an artificially strand of DNA which is formed when two or more genes are combined.

Biotechnology is the branch of science that deals with the wide usage of living organisms and biological processes in the cellular and microbial level to develop new technology/products/processes for the benefit of the mankind and nature. Recombinant DNA are the DNA molecules created by laboratory methods of genetic recombination that from different DNA materials creating novel sequences

Biotechnology is the use of living organisms or their components to produce different products. Biotechnology began in ancient history using yeast and fermentation. Today, biotechnology is increasingly using recombinant DNA - a DNA molecule made from sequences from various sources (organisms) by molecular cloning.
