Best Answer

Usually they transform them by changing their genetic code, they change it by splitting the genetics of a bacteria (it looks like a circle, rather than a double helix) and adding in a part of another organism's code, this is most commonly seen in preparing insulin for diabetics, the gene that codes for insulin is "spliced" onto the regular bacteria gene, and then the bacteria is grown, harvested, and refined to get insulin that would otherwise have to have come from pigs or other animals
