Transgenic organisms:
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Have a foreign gene inserted into them
- B. Have an important role in the large scale production of medicinal products
- C. Are considered beneficial to humans
- D. All of the above
Explanation
Transgenic organisms have all three characteristics mentioned in options A-C. They have a foreign gene inserted in them, they play an important role in the large-scale profusion of different types of products like insulin, which is a medicinal commodity.
