Question

The transgenic animals are those which have

• A. Foreign RNA in all its cells
• B. Foreign DNA in some of its cells
• C. Foreign DNA in all its cells
• D. Both A and C
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C Foreign DNA in all its cells

Transgenic organism is one that has become transformed following the introduction of novel genes into its genome. It is most frequently achieved by integration of doned DNA sequences following their injection into the fertilised egg. This fertilised egg divides mitotically to form the whole organism so that all the cells of the organism will carry the transferred genes. The transferred genes are known as transgenes.

So, the correct answer is 'Foreign DNA in all its cells'.
