ELI5: If all the cells in a person’s body have their individual DNA imprinted in them, then what happens after an organ transplant? Does the organ eventually adapt the DNA of the recipient or is the donor’s DNA permanently a part of the recipient?

The donors DNA is permanently a part of the recipient. In fact, the recipients body will treat the organ as a foreign agent, and will try to get rid of it. Organ recipients have to take immuno-suppressants for as long as they have the organ, and even still their body may reject the organ.
