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.

What is one practical application for each of the following transgenic bacteria transgenic animal transgenic plants QUICK?

Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.


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 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).


Is it true that some transgenic animals grow faster because they have extra copies of growth hormone genes?

Yes, it is true. Some transgenic animals have been engineered to express extra copies of growth hormone genes, leading to increased production of growth hormone in their bodies. This results in accelerated growth and development, allowing these animals to grow faster compared to their non-transgenic counterparts.


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.

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 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.
