The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** - The question asks about a plant that expresses a gene from another organism. This involves genetic modification where a gene (transgene) from one organism is introduced into a plant. 2. **Identifying Key Terms:** - The term "transgenic" refers to an organism that has been genetically modified to contain a gene from another species. - Other terms provided in the options include "clone," "soma-clonal," "variant," and "transformed," which have different meanings in the context of genetics. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Transgenic:** This option fits as it describes a plant that has incorporated a gene from another organism. - **Clone:** This refers to an organism that is genetically identical to its parent, which does not apply here. - **Soma-clonal:** This term relates to variants produced during plant tissue culture, which is not relevant to the question. - **Transformed:** This term generally refers to cells that have undergone genetic modification, but it does not specifically denote the expression of a gene from another organism. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the definitions and the context of the question, the correct answer is that a plant expressing a gene from another organism is called a **transgenic** plant. **Final Answer:** - A plant expressing a gene from another organism is **transgenic**. ---

It is theoretically possible for a gene from any organism to function in any other organism. Why is this possible ?

A gene has two alleles B and b. B is responsible for the expression of character x . b. is responsible for the expression of character y. B. is completely dominant over b. Another gene A is epistatic on gene B. When A is in the dominant condition it suppress the expression of B and b and gives rise to character z.In recessive condition (allele a) allows expression of B and b. When an organism with genotype AaBb is crossed with another organism with genotype AaBb, the ratio of characters x,y and z seen in its offsprings is
