A) If some cells of the embryo do not receive the introduced DNA, the result is an organism with cells of different genotypes; the organism is known as a chimera.
B) DNA is usually inserted into eggs or embryos since totipotency is not characteristic of most animal cells.
C) Homologous recombination occurs much more frequency than illegitimate recombination.
D) Either integration of multiple copies of the transgene or position effect can lead to variability in the expression of the transgene.
E) For a transgenic animal line to be produced from a chimera, the transgene must be carried by germ line or germ cells.
