One technique used to yield a transgenic animal is to
A) amplify DNA from a donor animal and another organism of interest using PCR.
B) remove all of the DNA from an animal fetus, and insert new DNA of interest through the use of synthetic DNA "carriers."
C) microinject the DNA of interest into an animal's egg.
D) introduce proteins from a foreign organism into the blood of a pregnant animal, so that the protein sequences will be used to produce a new DNA template.
E) inject the DNA of interest into an animal's bone marrow.
