Genome transplantation has successfully converted one species into another.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genome transplantation has been used to convert the genome of one bacterial species into another. For example, the genome of Mycoplasma mycoides was successfully transplanted into the cell of a different species, Mycoplasma capricolum, resulting in the creation of a new species, Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0. However, genome transplantation has not been used to convert one eukaryotic species into another.
