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.
What does proteins do in animals?
it helps their body grow and strengthens bones and teeth
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. Yhin Ramirez
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.
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.
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.
All cloned animals are also transgenic?
Not all cloned animals are transgenic. Cloning involves making a genetic copy of an existing individual, while transgenic animals have had genes from another organism inserted into their genome. Cloned animals can be created using the original individual's genetic material without introducing new genes.
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 some examples of transgenic species?
A transgenic organism is one that has been genetically modified by humans, there are no specific species. However, some beings that have been changed are as follows: Drosophila melanogaster (common fruit fly), pigs (scientists created Enviropig, not a species), and fish ( scientists created GloFish, not a species).
