The animals themselves are not likely dangerous. However, the science of creating them is debatable. Some feel that these animals will help us find treatments or cures for cancers. Some feel that we should not genetically alter animals at all for any reason. Some feel very strongly that no animal, transgenic or otherwise, should be tested on, that it is cruel, and some fear the possibility of this science being unethically used on humans.

What are GM Animals?
The transgenic animals contain functional genes introduced by Genetic Engineering from some other species. The foreign gene alters the host cell genetically, and is termed transgeneand the animals with transgene are called transgenics or genetically modified (GM) animals. Some GM animals developed so far include transgenic mouse, transgenic sheep transgenic goats, transgenic cows, transgenic pigs and transgenic fish.
How Does Transgenic Animals Relate To Jenna Fox?

How can you produce a transgenic animal?
Insertion of a transgene into the genome during developmental stages produces transgenic animals.
What are medicines usually tested on first?
transgenic animals
What are transgenic mammals?
Transgenic mammals are mammals produced by genetic engineering of two species of animals within the same class genre eg. Tiger + Lion =Tigons a transgenic mammal.
What are organisms produced with externally introduced genes?
transgenic animals
Explain uses of transgenic animals for human welfare?

How are transgenic animals used in the livestock industry?
Currently, they are not. A transgenic animal is one that has been genetically modified to carry a gene that is not normally found in that species. There are a few livestock animals that are transgenic, but they are carefully monitored in research facilities because they are quite expensive to create and to maintain.
Why are transgenic animals produced?
Transgenic animals carry a deliberately inserted foreign gene. There are many reasons why transgenic animals are produced. Some of those reasons are so that farmers can use selective breeding to produce animals that have desired traits and some transgenic animals have been created for chemical safety testing.
What are transegenic animals?
Transgenic animals are animals that have had genes from other organisms inserted into their DNA. This can occur naturally or be done artificially in a lab. The term transgenic organisms usually refers to those which have been modified artificially by humans.
Two applications of transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organism has genes from other species inserted into its genome. Two of its applications are to improve yield in plants and for research purposes in animals.
How many methods exist for producing transgenic animals and what are they?
This will depend on the animal. These kinds of animals are ones that have foreign genes inserted into them.
