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.

Transgenics are laboratory organism created, synthesized or crossed with two or more kinds of living beings, like plants and animals, plants and bacterial or viral life forms, by means of introduction of genes.

What are organisms produced with externally introduced genes?
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 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?

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.
What are four ways in which transgenic animals have been used?
1. Transgenic E. coli is used to mass produce amino acids, vitamins and organics used as supplements for animals. 2. Plants such as corn and soy have the bt gene, which gives them pest resistance, lowering the need of pesticide use. 3. GFP (green fluorescent protein) is mass produced using various microbes after the gene coding for it is transcribed into them. 4. Transgenic turf-grass can synthesize protein which can help resist drought.
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 process involves transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another and recombination of these DNA molecules of different parental origin?
It is called genetic engineering. Many transgenic plants and animals are being produced by this process.
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.
