Q1: Define Transgenic Animals.
Answer:
Transgenic animals are defined as when a foreign gene is inserted into the genome of the animals to alter its DNA or the animals with the modified genome.
Q2: What do you mean by Chemical Transfection Method?
Answer:
In this method, when calcium phosphate was present the target DNA is taken up. The chemical method of gene transfection consists of transformation.
Q4: Write the application of Transgenic Animals.
Answer:
The following are the applications of transgenic animals:
- Study of Diseases
- Safety of Vaccines
- Biological Products
Q5: What do you mean by Physical Transfection Method?
Answer:
It is the first method in which the interested gene is directly injected into the pronucleus of the fertilized ovum.
Transgenic Animals Notes – Biotechnology And Its Application
CBSE Class 12- Biotechnology And Its Application – Transgenic Animals: When a foreign gene inserts into the genome of the animals to alter its DNA or the animals with a modified genome are Known as Transgenic Animals. It is a method that helps to improve the genetic traits of targeted animals. Transgenic animals are also called genetically modified organisms.
