What's it called when genetic material is transferred from one organism to another.

Generally, genes are passed from parents to children, but sometimes strange things can happen, and genes can "jump" even from one kind of creature to another
They can give the creature new opportunities, sending it to a new stage of evolution. Even people can become an object of invasion of alien genes - and more than once people have experienced this on themselves, because it was this process that formed human evolution. Genes must copy themselves to another place, otherwise they will be lost when their current master dies. The standard route is a transfer between generations, that is, from parents to children. When you have children, you give them some of their genes, and these genes get new hosts
Sometimes genes can "jump" straight from one organism to another, and that can refer to a completely different kind. This process is called horizontal gene transfer
This type of gene transfer is quite rare due to the fact that any gene that tries to "jump" from one organism to another, meets with a huge number of problems and obstacles in its path

@BeautifulDemon: The main tasks of genetics are to study the problems of storage, transfer and variability of hereditary information
Overflow is usually only red blood cells, these are cells without a nucleus that do not have nuclear DNA ... If the whole blood is poured, then the foreign DNA appears in the blood, but within a week is completely removed
