Transgenic animals are the animals in which a foreign gene is expressed. Such animals can be used to study the fundamental biological process, a phenomenon as well as for producing products useful for mankind. Give one example for each type.
Following are the examples of various uses of transgenic animals:
(a) Fundamental biological processes: Transgenic animals can be used to understand insulin-like growth factors in humans:
(b) Study of Diseases: Many transgenic animals are introduced with genes for a certain disease. Then progression and possible cure for such disease can be studied using these animals.
(c) Biological Products: A transgenic cow Rosie could produce protein-enriched milk
