उत्तर
| Basis of Difference | Transgenic organism | Non-transgenic organism |
|---|---|---|
| Genetic content | A transgenic organism carries a foreign gene, called a transgene, in its genome. | A non-transgenic organism does not carry a gene introduced from another organism by genetic engineering. |
| Method of development | A transgenic organism is produced by introducing foreign DNA using genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technology. | A non-transgenic organism develops without the artificial insertion of foreign DNA by genetic engineering. |
| Origin of traits | A transgenic organism may express a trait encoded by an introduced gene. | A non-transgenic organism’s traits arise from its existing genetic material and may also be shaped by conventional breeding. |
| Examples | Bt cotton is a transgenic organism because it carries a gene from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. | A conventional cotton plant without an artificially inserted foreign gene is a non-transgenic organism. |
