Solution
A transgene is a gene that has been transferred naturally, or by any of a number of genetic engineering techniques from one organism to another. In a transgenic organism, reporter genes are used to determine whether a particular DNA construct has been successfully introduced into a cell, organ or tissue. Whereas promoter is the region of DNA that initiates the DNA transcription, an enhancer is the sequence of DNA that enhances the transcription when binds to the specific proteic and transgene is the gene that taken from the genome of one organism and introduces into the genome of another organism.
