Detailed explanation-1: -Maggie is a transgenic goat. How does being transgenic make Maggie different from non-transgenic goats? Maggie has DNA from both of her parents.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -All in all, genetic engineering is a broader term used to describe all the techniques that can be used for the alteration and modification of DNA, whereas Recombinant DNA Technology is one of the techniques of genetic engineering that is used to produce recombinant DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Typical agricultural applications of transgenesis include improved carcass composition, lactational performance, wool production, enhanced disease resistance, and reduced environmental impact (Niemann and Kues, 2007).
