Question

biology nord ic qtr b continuous learning center - credit bearing (tutor) biotechnology the apples at the local supermarket have been genetically engineered to resist warmer temperatures than they did before. what do these apples contain? recombinant organisms recombinant dna transgenic dna transgenic organisms

Explanation:

• Recombinant organisms: This term is not typically used in this context. The focus is on the DNA within the organism rather than the organism itself being called recombinant in this way.
• Recombinant DNA: Recombinant DNA is DNA that has been formed by combining DNA from different sources. While the apples may have recombinant DNA, the more specific term related to the organism's nature (as the question is about what the apples contain in terms of their biological classification) is better addressed by the organism - related term.
• Transgenic DNA: DNA is a molecule. While the apples have transgenic DNA, the question is about what the apples (organisms) contain.
• Transgenic organisms: Transgenic organisms are organisms that have had genes from another species inserted into their genome. The apples, which have been genetically engineered (presumably with genes from other species to resist warmer temperatures), fit the definition of transgenic organisms.

Answer:

Transgenic organisms
