Summary Introduction

To review:

The given blank space in the statement, “_____________ are organisms that contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that has been modified (usually through use of recombinant DNA technology) or derived from other species.”

Introduction:

Recombinant DNA technology is a novel method where the genes from two or more organisms are combined together for the desirable combination of the genes.

Explanation of Solution

Genetic engineering is used by the scientists to make changes in the genes that are inherited by the organism. Recombinant DNA technology is a tool where the combination of the desirable genes is inserted into the bacteria, viruses, or yeast from where they are transferred into other species.

The organisms that have the modified set or combination of genes in their DNA are called the transgenic or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Conclusion

Genetically modified organisms are organisms that contain DNA that has been modified (usually through use of recombinant DNA technology) or derived from other species.
