Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Transgenic organisms have
A
genes combined from a male and female of the same species
B
a small number of genes
C
genes added from a different organism
D
genes living outside their bodies
Explanation: 

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: -Transgenic Organism Definition Transgenes are genes that have been transplanted or moved from one organism to another. Transgenesis is the process of inserting the transgene into a new organism. Transgenesis can be important for gene therapy, where new genes can be inserted into a patient to fix genetic diseases.

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: -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: -The key difference between GMO and transgenic organism is that GMO is an organism that has an artificially altered genome, while the transgenic organism is a GMO that has an altered genome containing a DNA sequence or gene from a different species.
