Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is a transgenic plant?
  • Step 1: Understand what a plant is. A plant is a living organism that grows in soil and can make its own food.
  • Step 2: Learn about DNA. DNA is the genetic material that contains the instructions for how a living organism grows and functions.
  • Step 3: Know what genetic modification means. Genetic modification is the process of changing the DNA of an organism.
  • Step 4: Find out what 'transgenic' means. Transgenic refers to an organism that has DNA from a different species added to its own.
  • Step 5: Combine the ideas. A transgenic plant is a plant that has had DNA from another species inserted into its own DNA.
  • Transgenic Plants – Plants that have been genetically modified to include DNA from a different species, allowing for the expression of new traits.
