a transgenic organism is an organism that has had its genetic code (DNA) altered by the inclusion of one or more genes from another species of organism

A transgenic organism is an organism which has been modified with genetic material from another species. The genetic modification is accomplished by inserting DNA into an embryo with the assistance of a virus, a plasmid, or a gene gun. The embryo is allowed to develop, and the mature organism will express the DNA which has been inserted into its genome. Transgenic organisms can also pass the modification on to future generations by breeding with other members of the same species.

Genetically altered organisms are used in biological and medical research, production of pharmaceutical drugs, experimental medicine (e.g. gene therapy), and agriculture (e.g. golden rice).

What is the relationship between a transgenic organism and recombinant DNA?

a transgene is a gene that is not native to an organism (eg. it is a gene that is transferred from one organism to another)recombinant DNA is DNA that has essentially been combined with other, different DNA. DNA is double-stranded (the two strands are held together by basepair complementation). during recombination, the strands break apart, thus allowing another strand to bind with either of the original strands:original strandsDNA you want to insert into the organism (aka. a transgene) ]]you break apart the original strands | |and you add your strands |] |]now you have recombinant DNA, which is what a transgene will be when it has been integrated into an organism. it will (hopefully) be expressed correctly.(it's sliiightly more complicated than this haha, and the transgene can integrate (recombine) in numerous ways... but that's a solid foundational understanding of the process)hope this helps!NT


What is a transgentic organism?

A transgenic organism is an organism that has had a foreign gene inserted into its genome using biotechnology techniques. This process is used to introduce specific traits or characteristics into an organism that it does not naturally possess. Transgenic organisms are commonly used in research, agriculture, and medicine.

Splicing DNA from two different organisms produces a new DNA segment called?

When DNA contains parts from two or more organisms it is recombined. Recombinant DNA is often used in genetic engineering. A natural process of DNA recombination is called sexual reproduction.


What is a transgenic origanism?

a transgenic organism is that organism in which the genes is genetically engineered.One of the best way of preaparing a DNA which has an important part of another gene is by RDT.the newly created DNA is then inserted into the host n the baby born from that host is what we call a transgenic organism.eg.Dolly

How do you produce transgenic rice?

Transgenic mice are created by incorporating recombinant DNA into the genome of a mouse embryo and then implanting that embryo into a female mouse. The resulting offspring is transgenic


What results from inserting foreign DNA into an organism to produce a new gene combination?

Inserting foreign DNA into an organism can result in the production of a new gene combination known as a transgenic organism. This process can lead to the expression of new traits or proteins in the organism that were not originally present. These transgenic organisms can have applications in agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology.


What is the term for moving fragments of DNA from one organism to another?

The term is transgenesis.The product is recombinant DNA, and the resulting organism is transgenic, e.g. a transgenic mouse. But the word "transgenic" is not applied to bacteria.Typical methods of creating recombinant DNA include:* using bacterial plasmids, which are modified and then replaced in bacteria * using a virus as a vector (carrier of modified DNA into a host organism) * microinjection using a micropipette There are other techniques.
