Question

Accepted Answer

(b) Dolly — Dolly (sheep) was the first transgenic animal worldwide. Transgenic animals are the animals with the modified genome. A foreign gene is inserted into the genome of the animal to alter its DNA. This method is done to improve the genetic traits of the target animal. Transgenic is the phenomenon in which a foreign gene with desired characteristics is introduced into the genome of the target animal. The foreign gene that is introduced is known as the transgene, and the animal whose genome is altered is known as transgenic. These genes are passed on to the successive generations. The transgenic animals are genetically engineered and are also known as genetically modified organisms.
