What is an organism called that contains genes from other species?

A transgenic organism is probably the best answer, but pretty much all living things share genetics, a wide variety of genes are used and reused, conserved and co-opted repeatedly to meet new needs. "The same homeotic genes that control body segmentation in the lowly fruit fly appear to have been tapped to control the body plan in vertebrates in general, including human beings.
This means that our DNA contains a lot of stuff that isnt used right now, that might have served a purpose in the past, and may be useful in the future, and that much of the DNA we have and dont use might be in use in other species now, wich is why its possible for a cow to have 97% of the same DNA as us and look so different, because we use different parts of it

Is survival in the genes?
The process of evolution tends to produce organisms whose genes contribute to the survival of the organism. If an organism has genes which impede or prevent survival, then the organism is less likely to survive. A species with such genetics would die out.
What is a transgenic organism.?
An organism with DNA from another organism.
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 an organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait called?
hybrid
What contains genes with the information controlling cell?
Nucleus is the central region of cells that control all cellular mechanisms. The genome of an organism is found in nucleus. Genome may be defined as the total DNA or genes of an organism.
What is a combination of two genes together called?
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
What is the organisms combination of alleles called?
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
How is the combination of genes important in determining the inheritance of biological traits?
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
What contains DNA and determine the traits of an organism?
Genes
What an organism looks as a result of its genes is called?
The way an organism looks, as a result of its genes, is called its phenotype.
What makes something transgenic?
A transgenic organism is one that has had its genes altered by genetic engineering and contains some of the genes of another organism as well as its own.
Is survival in the genes?
The process of evolution tends to produce organisms whose genes contribute to the survival of the organism. If an organism has genes which impede or prevent survival, then the organism is less likely to survive. A species with such genetics would die out.
What is a transgenic organism.?
An organism with DNA from another organism.
What is the term that identifies the genes present in an organism?
the genes can be called inheritable genes..
When an organism produces its own gametes those two sets of genes must be separated from each other so that each gamete contains just one set of genes?
This is called segregation .
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.
Manipulation of genes that allows scientists to put genes from one organism into another organism?
i think its called intercourse between scientists
