Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of transgenic strains – Doogie mice show improved memory and capacity for learning. These mice have enhanced function at NMDA receptors, which are needed for the brain to store new information.
Detailed explanation-2: -GloFish. GloFish are another proprietary transgenic organism. These fish are designed for aesthetic purposes and express the bacterial protein, green fluorescence protein, or GFP. This protein glows under ultraviolet light, producing glow in the dark fish for entertainment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dolly, the sheep is the most famous example of a transgenic animal.
Detailed explanation-4: -GloFish (Figure 1) are a type of transgenic zebrafish (Danio rerio) that have been modified through the insertion of a green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene.
