Question

A transgenic animal is best defined as which of the following?

पर्याय

• An animal whose genome has been artificially modified to contain one or more genes from another species

• An animal that has been selectively bred for specific traits over multiple generations

• An animal that has undergone spontaneous genetic mutations resulting in new phenotypes

• An animal that naturally produces proteins from multiple different species

Answer 1

A transgenic animal is specifically defined as an animal with an artificially modified genome containing genes from another species. This artificial modification distinguishes it from selective breeding, natural mutation, or other genetic processes. The key aspect is the intentional introduction of foreign genetic material into the animal's genome through biotechnological techniques.
