Solution
Transgenesis is the process of introducing extra (foreign/exogenous) DNA into the genome of the animals to create and maintain stable heritable characters. The foreign DNA that is introduced is called the transgene, and the animals that are produced by DNA manipulations are called transgenic animals or genetically engineered or genetically modified organisms.
