Q.7
Complete the following statement - transgenic animals are those animals which have
- Transgenic Animals: A transgenic animal is an organism whose genome has been stably modified by the deliberate introduction of an exogenous gene (transgene) from another species using recombinant DNA technology.
- Transmission to All Cells:
- Because transgenes are introduced into the germline (at the one-cell zygote stage via pronuclear microinjection, lentiviral transduction, or embryonic stem cell transfer), the foreign DNA integrates into the host chromosomes and is replicated during mitosis.
- Consequently, the transgene is present in all somatic and germ cells of the resulting founder animal and can be transmitted stably to offspring in a Mendelian fashion. Animals with foreign DNA in only some cells are chimeras or mosaics, not fully transgenic.
Correct option: (2) Foreign DNA in all its cells
