Solution

Transgenesis:

  1. A transgene is a gene that has been transferred from one creature to another, either spontaneously or through one of several genetic engineering processes.
  2. The introduction of a transgene, also known as transgenesis, has the potential to alter an organism's phenotype.
  3. Plasmid vectors, liposomes, viral vectors, protoplast fusion pronuclear injection, and ballistic DNA injection can all be used.
  4. Transgenesis is a process that allows the desired strain to be introduced into an organism.

Purpose:

  1. It is used to study genome function.
  2. It allows the improvement of basic gene functions to enhance the products.
  3. It is also responsible for creating recombinants of the gene of more than one organism.
