What are scientists more likely to learn from transgenic animals than from transgenic bacteria or trangenic plants?

How humans genes function.
Animal Biology is much more similar to that of humans than the others. This means that animals and humans (we are animals BTW) share a more recent genetic relative than the with the other two types of organisms.
All life is related, that's why studying bacteria and viruses is very interesting. But from a human medicine standpoint animal studies are the most useful.

All cloned animals are also transgenic?
It depends on what is actually cloned. If you clone a gene and insert in an organism the organism is said to be transgenic. It can be a plant, animal or a micro organism.
Some transgenic animals grow faster because they have extra copies of growth hormone genes?
True.
Does Transgenic organisms occur often in nature?
Yes,mostly in animals,or plants,mostly in female privates.
Give an example of a transgenic bacteria?
Transgenic bacteria, being artificial in their genetic codes, are found in abundance in the scientific community. They are derived from the natural bacterial species and a gene inserted into them makes them transgenic. This gene insert is done to obtain some specific function, like the production of some important pharmacological product. An example of this would be the bacteria used to produce synthetic insulin. The bacterial names vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the base organism used is E. coli.
Is it true that some transgenic animals grow faster because they have extra copies of growth hormone genes?
Yes it is True.
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?
it does
How can you produce a transgenic animal?
Insertion of a transgene into the genome during developmental stages produces transgenic animals.
Why do scientists make plants and farm animals that are transgenic for human antibodies and hormones?
This is a way to produce large amounts of the antibodies and hormones cheaply without legal recourse
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.
What are some disadvantages for genetically engineered animals?
Disadvantages of transgenic animals for humans include transgenesis not being good for the animals, altering of an animal's cells is not ethical, and the scientists that create transgenic animals have no way of knowing what the outcome will be. Adverse reactions are common and usually unexpected.
