A gene can be moved from one organism to another.An organism containing a "foreign"gene via genetic engineering process is called transgenic. Transgenic organisms can be used either for laboratory research to advance our understanding of biological processes or for specialized industrial applications for examples: *Development of insect resistant crops *Production of human insulin in transgenic bacteria carrying appropriate human gene• A gene can be moved from one organism to another.
