Explanation:
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: -Laboratory methods to move individual genes between organisms capitalize on naturally occurring mechanisms of gene transfer other than sexual reproduction. These include uptake of DNA by cells and cell-to-cell transfer of packaged genetic material such as viruses.
