A transgenic mouse is one with:
A)A gene subtraction
B)A foreign gene insertion
C)A benign mutation
D)Cloned siblings

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transgenic mouse is one that has had a foreign gene inserted into its genome, typically for research purposes. Gene subtraction refers to the removal of a gene, which is not the case in a transgenic mouse. A benign mutation is a mutation that does not cause harm and is not necessarily related to genetic engineering. Cloned siblings are a group of individuals with the same genetic material, but this does not necessarily involve the insertion of foreign genes, which is the defining characteristic of a transgenic mouse.
