An organism that contains DNA from other organisms

Real World Example

Imagine trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle, but you find that a few pieces are missing, so you borrow pieces from another puzzle to complete it. This situation is similar to transgenic organisms, where scientists integrate DNA from different species to fill in genetic gaps or add new traits. Just like using pieces from another puzzle to complete your picture, transgenic organisms incorporate foreign DNA to enhance or alter their genetic 'picture,' resulting in new characteristics or abilities.
