Detailed explanation-1: -A transgenic, or genetically modified, organism is one that has been altered through recombinant DNA technology, which involves either the combining of DNA from different genomes or the insertion of foreign DNA into a genome.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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).
Detailed explanation-4: -Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), also called transgenics, are defined as organisms in which the genetic information has been altered.
Detailed explanation-5: -Transgenic organisms are organisms that have a foreign gene inserted in their genetic code. They differ from natural organisms of the same species because they have an inserted foreign gene and are produced using recombinant DNA technology.
