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 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 is the most common protein produced by transgenic organisms?
The most common protein produced by transgenic organisms is insulin.
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.
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.
What products are produced with transgenic organisms?
Transgenic organisms are used to produce a variety of products, including genetically modified crops like corn and soybeans, which are resistant to pests or herbicides. Medicines like insulin and vaccines can also be produced using transgenic organisms, as well as enzymes used in laundry detergents and other industrial processes.
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 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.
