Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the genetic code is universal and the DNA molecule is the same for all living organisms, an organism can be genetically modified by introducing a gene from a different organism (called a transgene).
An example of this are Bt crops. Scientists isolated from a bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis, Bt) a gene that produces a toxic protein that kills insects. Then, they modified crops such as cotton and corn by inserting this gene, and plants that express it can resist being eaten by insects (because when insects try to eat them they die due to the toxin).
