All of the following do not produce a transgenic organism except?

Correct answer: A. Introduction of the desired gene into the organism

  • A. Introduction of the desired gene into the organism
  • B. Replacement of the nucleus of an unfertilized egg with a diploid nucleus of a somatic cell
  • C. Produced from a zygote
  • D. Asexual reproduction

Explanation

The correct answer is the introduction of a desired gene into the organism. This method creates transgenic organisms by inserting new genetic material into their DNA to express desired traits. In contrast, the replacement of a nucleus with a somatic cell nucleus, a process used in cloning, does not involve genetic modification to introduce new traits. Similarly, organisms produced from a zygote or through asexual reproduction do not automatically entail the genetic modifications necessary to form transgenic organisms.
