1. Target DNA

4. Starting DNA

Explanation:

A recombinant DNA molecule has a sequence that is obtained or inserted from a different organism. A target DNA is the one that obtains a foreign gene sequence. The DNA molecule that serves as a donor of the gene sequence is called starting DNA. To create recombinant DNA molecule, the target DNA and the starting DNA are cut with a restriction enzyme. Restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific restriction sites. Digestion of target DNA and starting DNA with restriction enzyme creates DNA fragments with complementary ends. It facilitates their ligation.
