BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Organisms that have altered genomes are known as transgenic. Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. For example, “knock-out” mice are transgenic mice that have a particular gene of interest disabled.

Detailed explanation-4: -A transgenic animal is one whose genome has been altered by the transfer of a gene or genes from another species or breed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are more accurately called transgenic organisms where trans means on or from “the other.” A transgene is a gene that comes from outside the genome. Bacteria acquire transgenes naturally all the time through horizontal gene transfer.
