Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of transgenic organisms: These are organisms that have been genetically modified to contain DNA from another species. This process is used to introduce new traits or characteristics.

Recognize the role of DNA in transgenic organisms: DNA is the genetic material that carries the instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms.

Differentiate between DNA, RNA, and proteins: DNA is the hereditary material, RNA is involved in translating genetic information into proteins, and proteins are the molecules that perform various functions within organisms.

Identify the correct component involved in transgenic organisms: Transgenic organisms specifically contain DNA from another organism, which is integrated into their genome to express new traits.

Consider examples of transgenic organisms: Examples include genetically modified crops that are resistant to pests or diseases, and animals that produce pharmaceuticals in their milk.
