|
|

Organisms whose DNA has been copied

Detailed explanation-1: -Transgenic organisms contain one or more genes from another organism (not inherited) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are more accurately called transgenic organisms where trans means on or from “the other.” A transgene is a gene that comes from outside the genome.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), also called transgenics, are defined as organisms in which the genetic information has been altered.
Detailed explanation-3: -The foreign gene that is introduced is known as the transgene, and the animal whose genome is altered is known as transgenic. These genes are passed on to the successive generations. The transgenic animals are genetically engineered and are also known as genetically modified organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -So the correct answer is ‘Dogie’.
Detailed explanation-5: -Transgenic organisms have also been developed for commercial purposes. Perhaps the most famous examples are food crops like soy and corn that have been genetically modified for pest and herbicide resistance. These crops are widely known as “GMOs” (genetically modified organisms).
