Which of the following best describes transgenic organisms in the context of organic chemistry?
A
Organisms that are used to synthesize organic compounds through chemical reactions.
B
Organisms that have been genetically modified to contain DNA from another species.
C
Organisms that have undergone natural selection to adapt to organic environments.
D
Organisms that naturally produce organic compounds without genetic modification.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'transgenic organisms': These are organisms that have been genetically modified to contain DNA from another species. This is a key concept in biotechnology and genetic engineering.
Recognize that transgenic organisms are not specifically related to organic chemistry reactions or synthesis, but rather to genetic modification techniques.
Differentiate between genetic modification and natural processes: Transgenic organisms are created through deliberate genetic engineering, not through natural selection or natural production of organic compounds.
Identify the context of the question: The focus is on the genetic modification aspect, which involves inserting foreign DNA into an organism's genome.
Conclude that the best description of transgenic organisms in this context is 'Organisms that have been genetically modified to contain DNA from another species.'
