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: -Transgene: A gene from one organism inserted into another organism by recombinant DNA techniques. Transgenic organism: An organism resulting from the insertion of genetic material from another organism using recombinant DNA techniques.
Detailed explanation-3: -Recombinant DNA technology involves using enzymes and various laboratory techniques to manipulate and isolate DNA segments of interest. This method can be used to combine (or splice) DNA from different species or to create genes with new functions. The resulting copies are often referred to as recombinant DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are produced by inserting genetic material (sometimes from another species) into a plant such that the new genetic material will provide the plant the ability to exhibit some desirable trait (i.e., genetic engineering).
Detailed explanation-5: -In conjugation, DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another. After the donor cell pulls itself close to the recipient using a structure called a pilus, DNA is transferred between cells. In most cases, this DNA is in the form of a plasmid.
