Question

thale cress is a plant that is genetically engineered with genes that break down toxic materials. which type of organism is described?
recombinant
transgenic
transverse
restriction

Explanation:

• A transgenic organism has genes from another species inserted into its genome. Since Thale cress has genes (from other sources, as it's genetically engineered) that break down toxic materials, it fits the definition of a transgenic organism.
• Recombinant refers more to DNA molecules formed by combining DNA from different sources (not the whole organism). Transverse is a directional or structural term (like in anatomy, not relevant here). Restriction refers to enzymes that cut DNA (restriction enzymes), not the organism type.

Answer:

B. transgenic
