Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A genetically engineered organism that contains a gene from another organism is called
A
Bacterial
B
Genetic
C
Transgenic
D
Multigenic
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: -A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transgenic organisms are also known as Genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Detailed explanation-4: -This process is also known as “genetic engineering.” Genes of one species can be modified, or genes can be transplanted from one species to another. Genetic engineering is made possible by recombinant DNA technology. Organisms that have altered genomes are known as transgenic.

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.
