Q: Transgenic animals are animals that have incorporated a gene from another species into their what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

DNA technology has proved very beneficial to humans. Transgenic animals are animals that have incorporated a gene from another species into their genome. They are used as experimental models to perform phenotypic tests with genes whose function is unknown, or to generate animals that are susceptible to certain compounds or stresses for testing purposes. Other applications include the production of human hormones, such as insulin. Many times these animals are rodents, such as mice, or fruit flies ( Drosophila melanogaster ). Fruit flies are extremely useful as genetic models to study the effects of genetic changes on development. GloFish are the first genetically modified animal to be sold as a pet and are transgenic zebrafish transfected with a natural fluorescence gene.
