Genetically modified microorganisms (GMOs) have been developed through the engineering of the genome by inserting desirable genes or deleting undesirable genes. Most applications have been with crops, where genes inserted into the plants provide resistance to a herbicide or produce an insecticide. However, GMO research is expected to continue to satisfy food security concerns and adapt to climate change.

∙ 16y agoTransgenic organisms are used for getting various biological products in biotechnology e.g when human insulin gene is integrated into bacterial chromosome;since the bacteria divides at rapid rate it produces a large number of copies of human insulin gene on a commercial scale .Insulin is then extracted for the treatment of diabetics.

∙ 13y agoCrops, vaccines & antibiotics are often transgenic or the result of genetic transformations. Also, the ability to transfer genes between species is extremely useful in many disciplines of life science.

∙ 13y agoBacteria were the first organisms to be modified in the laboratory, due to their simple genetics. These organisms are now used for several purposes, and are particularly important in producing large amounts of pure human proteins for use in medicine.
Genetically modified bacteria are used to produce the protein insulin to treat Diabetes. Similar bacteria have been used to produce clotting factors to treat haemophilia, and human growth hormone to treat various forms of dwarfism.

Where were the first transgenic organisms created?
In a laboratory.
What are organisms produced with externally introduced genes?
transgenic animals
What of the following is not a use for transgenic organisms?
*A+* production of cloned sheep
Organisms that contain genes from other organisms are called?
A plant that contains a gene or genes from another organism that has been introduced artificially into the plant's genetic makeup is called a transgenetic plant. It is also called genetic engineering.
What is a sentence for transgenic?
taking dna and putting it into another creature is called transgenic.
Where were the first transgenic organisms created?
In a laboratory.
How are transgenic organisms made?
Via laboratory procedures.
What are organisms produced with externally introduced genes?
transgenic animals
What of the following is not a use for transgenic organisms?
*A+* production of cloned sheep
How do you think decisions about transgenic organisms should be made?
your beautiful.
How are transgenic organisms important and how could they be harmful?
Transgenic organisms are good because they are engineered to have the characteristics of another organism for its benefit. This increases resistance to harm and other factors in such organisms. As for harmful reasons, I cannot think of any.
What is an example of transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organisms has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome.Transgenic bacteria with the gene for human insulin make human insulin that is used to treat people with Diabetes.
Organisms that contain genes from other organisms are called?
A plant that contains a gene or genes from another organism that has been introduced artificially into the plant's genetic makeup is called a transgenetic plant. It is also called genetic engineering.
Are transgenic organisms male and female?
A transgenic organism is an organism that has been genetically engineered. It has genes from more than one organism. Can be both, male or female.
How do GMOs relate to biology and chemistry?
GMOs are transgenic organisms. A gene is taken from one species and forced into another, which is what creates a transgenic organism.
What is an example of a transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organisms has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome.Transgenic bacteria with the gene for human insulin make human insulin that is used to treat people with Diabetes.
Two applications of transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organism has genes from other species inserted into its genome. Two of its applications are to improve yield in plants and for research purposes in animals.
