B) delete part of the original DNA
C) humans choose which organisms should mate for favorable characteristics

Answered by admin @


Answer:

The best description for a transgenic organism is when DNA from one organism is put into another, who will be the genetically modified organism.

Explanation:

Transgenic organisms have had artificial intervention in their genome (DNA), by introducing a different DNA fragment to their species. The purpose of this procedure is to improve the characteristics of the modified species.

The transgenic designation comes from the term transgen, used for the heterologous DNA fragment introduced into another organism. However, the correct term is genetically modified organism (GMO).


In agriculture, for example, a plant can be genetically modified to make it more productive and resistant.
