Detailed explanation-1: -Transgenic plants are plants that have had their genomes modified through genetic engineering techniques either by the addition of a foreign gene or removal of a certain detrimental gene [1]. A foreign gene inserted into a plant can be of a different species or even kingdom.
Detailed explanation-2: -A transgenic plant contains DNA from another organism via gene-splicing . A hybrid plant contains DNA only from both parents via fertilization.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transgenic organisms contain foreign DNA that has been introduced using biotechnology. Foreign DNA (the transgene) is defined here as DNA from another species, or else recombinant DNA from the same species that has been manipulated in the laboratory then reintroduced.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transgenic animals are animals (most commonly mice) that have had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into their genome. Such animals are most commonly created by the microinjection of DNA into the pronuclei of a fertilised egg which is subsequently implanted into the oviduct of a pseudopregnant surrogate mother.
Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Genetic transformation is the process of introducing, stably integration and expression of foreign genes in the plant. This whole process produces transgenic plants.
