Transgenic Organisms

Question

Transgenic organisms
A) contain cells from other organisms.
B) contain genetically engineered microbes.
C) are the same as clones.
D) contain genes from other organisms.
E) have genomes that have been sequenced completely.

Accepted Answer

Transgenic organisms contain genes from other organisms that have been artificially inserted into their genome. This is different from clones which are genetically identical copies of an existing organism. Transgenic organisms can be created through various techniques such as genetic engineering or gene editing. The genome sequencing of a transgenic organism is not relevant to its definition.
