Best Answer

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).

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 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


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?

It depends on what is actually cloned. If you clone a gene and insert in an organism the organism is said to be transgenic. It can be a plant, animal or a micro organism.


How is the word transgenic related to GMO?

GMOs are transgenic. A gene is removed from one organism (often a bacteria) and forced into the DNA of another organism (often corn or soy), which is what transgenics is: mixing one species with another.
