Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, ability to resist the insect would be a desirable trait scientists may want to create in a transgenic plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which would be a desirable trait scientists may want to create in a transgenic plant? The ability to resist insects.
Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists are especially interested in making transgenic organisms because of the enormous benefits to human health. For example, transgenic bacteria are used to produce the hormone insulin, an essential treatment for diabetes.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The correct answer is (A) Pet fish that glow because they express a gene from jellyfish. A transgenic organism is an organism that contains genetic material from another, unrelated organism.
