Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transgenic mice are genetically modified organisms where new genes are inserted into their genome. This technology is used for various applications such as rescuing mutants (A), creating synthetic bioreactors (C), testing drug or gene therapies (D), and studying structure-function relationships (E). However, the generation of chemically-induced mutant loci (B) involves direct chemical modification of DNA in organisms, which is a different technique from the creation of transgenic mice.
