Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An animal that has genes from another species is called transgenic. Transgenic organisms have been genetically modified to possess genes from another organism, which may or may not be from the same species. Mutants refer to organisms that have undergone spontaneous genetic mutations, while the term transposed is not directly related to genetic modification. Synthetic refers to artificially created organisms or compounds. Abomination is a subjective and inappropriate term to use in a scientific context.
