A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques, generally known as recombinant DNA technology, use DNA molecules from different sources, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into an organism, giving it modified or novel genes. Transgenic organisms, a subset of GMOs, are organisms which have inserted DNA that originated in a different species

How are transgenic organisms made?
Via laboratory procedures.
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 one benefit and one risk involved in the use of transgenic organisms?
the benifits of involve transgenic organisms that we are found a new crops or new varities of plants...who has benifitted for production of seed.....and the own risk at that may cause a new deseases...
Does Transgenic organisms occur often in nature?
Yes,mostly in animals,or plants,mostly in female privates.
What involves fusing a cell without a nucleus from an adult organism with a cell from another adult organism?
They are known as Transgenic organisms
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?

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.
