some of the benefits include:

providing cows that produce more milk, sheep that grow more wool, pigs and cattle with more meat and providing larger sized livestock.

Also proving disease resistant livestock.

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).


How are transgenic mice created?

a transgenic species is created by an gentic material. This is known as DNA molecules, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes


Does a transgenic organisms travel a lot or does it have genes from a different type of living thing?

Transgenic organisms are created by incorporating genes from different species into their genetic makeup, allowing them to express traits not naturally found in their own kind. They do not inherently "travel" more than non-transgenic organisms; their mobility depends on the species and environmental factors. The primary purpose of creating transgenic organisms is to enhance certain traits, such as pest resistance in crops or increased yield in livestock.


What is transgenic organism and recombinant DNA?

a transgenic organism is an organism that has had its genetic code (DNA) altered by the inclusion of one or more genes from another species of organism A transgenic organism is an organism which has been modified with genetic material from another species. The genetic modification is accomplished by inserting DNA into an embryo with the assistance of a virus, a plasmid, or a gene gun. The embryo is allowed to develop, and the mature organism will express the DNA which has been inserted into its genome. Transgenic organisms can also pass the modification on to future generations by breeding with other members of the same species. Genetically altered organisms are used in biological and medical research, production of pharmaceutical drugs, experimental medicine (e.g. gene therapy), and agriculture (e.g. golden rice).


What is transgenic technology?

Transgenic plants are plants in which DNA from another species has been introduced into the plant's genome.

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 do GMOs relate to biology and chemistry?

GMOs are transgenic organisms. A gene is taken from one species and forced into another, which is what creates a transgenic organism.


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.

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.
