Detailed explanation-1: -The hybrid cell is made to divide by providing an electric shock to form a blastocyst. This blastocyst is then implanted into the female sheep to undergo normal pregnancy. Therefore, Dolly is not a product of GMOs. So, option D is the correct answer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic modification is not the same as cloning. Cloning creates an exact copy of all or part of an organism’s DNA, while genetic modification makes changes to existing DNA to create a new, modified version of the genome.
Detailed explanation-3: -What animals are being genetically engineered? In research studies, animals that have been safely genetically engineered (GE) include cattle, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, dogs, cats, fish, rats, and mice.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transgenic sheep were produced to investigate the possibility that high growth hormone secretion would enhance growth characteristics and aid meat production. Pronuclei of Merino sheep embryos were injected with the fusion gene construct ovine metallothionein la-ovine GH.
