What are
transgenic organisms ? Explain their significance.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Transgenic organisms contain foreign DNA that has been introduced using biotechnology. ... Transgenesis is also related to the medical practice of gene therapy, in which DNA is transferred into a patient's cells to treat disease. Transgenic organisms are widespread in agriculture.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Transgenic organisms contain foreign DNA that has been introduced using biotechnology. Foreign DNA (the transgene) is defined here as DNA from another species, or else recombinant DNA from the same species that has been manipulated in the laboratory then reintroduced. The terms transgenic organism and genetically modified organism (GMO) are generally synonymous. The process of creating transgenic organisms or cells to be come whole organisms with a permanent change to their germline has been called either transformation or transfection. (Unfortunately, both words have alternate meanings. Transformation also refers to the process of mammalian cell becoming cancerous, while transfection also refers to the process of introducing DNA into cells in culture, either bacterial or eukaryote, for a temporary use, not germ line changes.) Transgenic organisms are important research tools, and are often used when exploring a gene’s function. Transgenesis is also related to the medical practice of gene therapy, in which DNA is transferred into a patient’s cells to treat disease. Transgenic organisms are widespread in agriculture. Approximately 90% of canola, cotton, corn, soybean, and sugar beets grown in North America are transgenic. No other transgenic livestock or crops (except some squash, papaya, and alfalfa) are currently produced in North America.
