Detailed explanation-1: -Transgenic animals are animals (most commonly mice) that have had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into their genome. Such animals are most commonly created by the microinjection of DNA into the pronuclei of a fertilised egg which is subsequently implanted into the oviduct of a pseudopregnant surrogate mother.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transgenic organisms contain foreign DNA that has been introduced using biotechnology.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transgenic organisms are also known as Genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. Transgenic refers to an organism or cell whose genome has been altered by the introduction of one or more foreign DNA sequences from another species by artificial means. Transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Perhaps the most famous examples are food crops like soy and corn that have been genetically modified for pest and herbicide resistance. These crops are widely known as “GMOs” (genetically modified organisms).
