Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A bacteria with human genes could be called a
A
clone
B
eukaryote
C
transgenic organism
D
stem cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria were the first organisms to be genetically modified in the laboratory, due to the relative ease of modifying their chromosomes. This ease made them important tools for the creation of other GMOs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transgenic organisms are also known as Genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Transgenic refers to an organism or cell whose genome has been altered by the introduction of one or more foreign DNA sequences from another species by artificial means. Transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes.
