I need help with this biology homework question.
(AKS 8, DOK 1) The flounder is a species of fish that can live in very cold water. The fish produces an "antifreeze" protein that prevents ice crystals from forming
in its blood. The DNA for this protein has been identified. A genetic engineering process using restriction enzymes is performed to cut and remove this section
of the flounder DNA that and then spliced into the DNA of a strawberry plant. As a result, the plant can now produce a protein that makes it more resistant to the
damaging effects of frost. The strawberry plant is now considered to what type of organism and why?
O A.
Genetically Modified Organism because there is a flounder gene added to the strawberry plant to make it a better performing plant.
O B.
Transgenic Organism because the flounder gene has been incorporated into the genome
O C.
Genetically Modified Organism because it is a cross between a flounder and a strawberry plant
OD
Transgenic Organism because it is a cross between a flounder and a strawberry plant
