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.

Does a transgenic organisms travel a lot or does it have genes from a different type of living thing?

Transgenic organisms are created by incorporating genes from different species into their genetic makeup, allowing them to express traits not naturally found in their own kind. They do not inherently "travel" more than non-transgenic organisms; their mobility depends on the species and environmental factors. The primary purpose of creating transgenic organisms is to enhance certain traits, such as pest resistance in crops or increased yield in livestock.


What is a piece of DNA with two or more organisms sequences?

A chimeric DNA molecule is composed of DNA sequences from two or more different organisms. This can result from genetic engineering techniques like recombinant DNA technology, where genes from different species are combined to create a new DNA sequence with desired traits. Chimeric DNA is commonly used in creating transgenic organisms and in biotechnology applications.


What products are produced with transgenic organisms?

Transgenic organisms are used to produce a variety of products, including genetically modified crops like corn and soybeans, which are resistant to pests or herbicides. Medicines like insulin and vaccines can also be produced using transgenic organisms, as well as enzymes used in laundry detergents and other industrial processes.

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 makes something transgenic?

An organism is considered transgenic if it has had genes from another species inserted into its genetic makeup through genetic engineering techniques. This can lead to the expression of traits or characteristics not originally found in the organism. Transgenic organisms are typically created for research purposes, to express desired traits, or for agricultural applications such as pest resistance or improved crop yields.


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.
