The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following are transgenic organisms, we need to understand the definition of transgenic organisms and analyze the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Transgenic Organisms**: - Transgenic organisms are those that have had a foreign gene inserted into their genome. This foreign DNA can come from different species and is introduced through genetic engineering techniques. 2. **Review the Options**: - Option 1: Holly sheep and flower sard meto - Option 2: Holly sheep and B.T. cotton - Option 3: Dolly sheep and B.T. cotton - Option 4: Flower sard meto and B.T. cotton 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1**: Holly sheep and flower sard meto - Holly sheep is not a recognized transgenic organism. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2**: Holly sheep and B.T. cotton - Again, Holly sheep is not a transgenic organism. This option is incorrect. - **Option 3**: Dolly sheep and B.T. cotton - Dolly sheep is a clone and not a transgenic organism. This option is incorrect. - **Option 4**: Flower sard meto and B.T. cotton - Flower sard meto (Flavr Savr tomato) is a transgenic organism created to resist rotting by silencing the gene that produces the PG enzyme. B.T. cotton is also a transgenic organism that has been modified to express a toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis to resist insect damage. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option 4: Flower sard meto and B.T. cotton** as both are transgenic organisms.
