Answer 1

If other one or more genes are introduced in any plant, the plant will be called transgenic.

Explanation:

Transgenic plants have genes transferred from bacteria, animals, or unrelated plants, which become functional in the host. This gene transfer extends genetic variability beyond sexual compatibility barriers and is achieved using vectors like Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens or methods such as microinjection and electroporation. These plants exhibit new traits such as pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, or enhanced nutrition and are called transgenic plants.
