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.

Who invented GM food?

People have been modifing food for thousand of years when putting animals that give alot of food with animals that dont and having kids that give more food. No one really invented GM food, many people did bu after discovery of DNA in 1953 GM foods where created more prefesionaly


Why genetically modified GM plants are thought to pose a greater environmental threat then GM animals?

Genetically modified (GM) plants are often considered to pose a greater environmental threat than GM animals due to their potential for widespread and uncontrolled gene flow into wild plant populations, which can lead to unintended ecological consequences. This gene transfer may result in the emergence of "superweeds" resistant to herbicides, disrupting local ecosystems and reducing biodiversity. Additionally, the cultivation of GM plants can lead to monocultures, which diminish habitat diversity and increase vulnerability to pests and diseases. In contrast, GM animals typically have a more contained impact, as they are usually raised in controlled environments and are less likely to interbreed with wild populations.


Which genetically modified animals are approved for human consumption?

There are currently no genetically modified animals that are approved for consumption in the UK or USA. Genetically modified salmon, with growth hormones inserted, look to be winning the race to be the first GM animal to be approved for human consumption. However there is plenty of opposition against GM animals as food by many campaigners


How is producing a GM plant different from a GM animals?

Producing a genetically modified (GM) plant involves introducing new genetic material into the plant's genome to achieve desired traits like pest resistance or increased yield. In contrast, creating GM animals involves manipulating their genetic material to produce specific traits, such as disease resistance or increased growth rates. Both processes involve genetic engineering techniques but their applications and technological approaches can vary.
