Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term for genetically modified organisms that acquire genes from a different species is "transgenic." A mutant is an organism that has undergone genetic mutation without the introduction of foreign genes. Synthetic organisms are typically completely man-made in a laboratory, rather than utilizing genetic engineering techniques. Cloned organisms are created through a process of asexual replication, but not necessarily genetically modified in the traditional sense.
