Explain transgenic animals and ethical issues : Biology Blog
Transgenic Animals & ethical issues Hello guys! on this blog, we are going to discuss what are the transgenic animals and what are the issues related to that. So, guys, transgenic animals are those animals that have their DNA manipulated so that the extra foreign gene can be expressed. There are multiple examples of transgenic animals like sheep, cows, mice, rats, etc. Reasons for developing transgenic animals - To the understanding of gene regulation and their effect on normal physiology of the animal and its development. For example, we can study various growth factors. The study of the disease can be done by studying genes, which are responsible for causing disease in human and their treatments. Biological products can be produced by introducing the portion of DNA, which codes for a particular product into transgenic animals. For exa...
