The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term used to describe a genetically manipulated organism that contains one or more genes from another species in its genome. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - "Genetically manipulated organism" refers to an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. - "Inserted gene of another species" indicates that the organism has received genetic material from a different species, which is a crucial aspect of the definition. 3. **Defining the Concept**: - When an organism has been altered to include genes from another species, it is referred to as a "transgenic organism." This term is derived from "transgene," which is the gene that has been transferred from one organism to another. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that a genetically manipulated organism containing one or more inserted genes of another species is called a **transgenic organism**. ---
