How have transgenic animals proved to be beneficial in chemical safety testing?

उत्तर
Transgenic animals have been beneficial in chemical safety testing by being genetically engineered to carry genes that make them more sensitive to toxic substances than non-transgenic animals. When exposed to these substances, the effects on the animals are studied, allowing researchers to obtain toxicity data more quickly and efficiently. This sensitivity helps in assessing the potential harmful effects of chemicals in a shorter time, improving the accuracy and speed of safety evaluation for various substances, including drugs and environmental toxins. Thus, transgenic animals serve as valuable models in toxicity testing protocols.
