HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -In agriculture, transgenic animals are engineered to achive better genetic characteristics such as increased production of dairy proteins for food, enhanced production of wool or enhanced disease resistance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transgenic cattle are produced in a way that they express a particular protein that can be used for treatment of diseases, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin is expressed in cattle to treat emphysema.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Transgenic Animals Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. In this, the udder cells from a 6-year-old Finn Dorset white sheep were injected into an unfertilized egg from a Scottish Blackface ewe, which had its nucleus removed. The cell was made to fuse by electrical pulses.

Detailed explanation-4: -The production of transgenic livestock has the opportunity to significantly improve human health, enhance nutrition, protect the environment, increase animal welfare, and decrease livestock disease.
