Question
How does a transgenic organism differ from the rest of its population? Give any two examples of such organism for human advantage.
✓

Answer

A transgenic organism contains foreign gene, hence it differs from the rest of the population in having one or more extra genes apart from the gene pool of that population showing an additional phenotype.
Example:
  1. Transgenic E.coli, with gene for human insulin.
  2. Transgenic mouse with gene for human growth hormone.
