#17 The use of genetically modified animals has been important in medical research. Transgenic animals are routinely bred to carry human genes. At times
these animals are given mutations in specific genes. This allows researchers to
study the progression of various illnesses and diseases. Biomedical researchers
often use transgeneic mice as they are "small" models for their study. Transgenic
mice express the foreign gene that was deliverately inserted into its genome
(DNA). Which of the following facts best explain how transgenic mice are
possible? *
viral DNA is encoded into the host DNA during the lysogenic process
the use of sequenced nitrogen bases as genetic code is in all living things
protein synthesis does not occur in all organisms
meiosis reproduces new gametes
