Detailed explanation-1: -Maggie is a transgenic goat. How does being transgenic make Maggie different from non-transgenic goats? Maggie has DNA from both of her parents.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transgenic goats are obtained by pronuclear microinjection and somatic cell nuclear transfer. After the maturation of the transgenic female goats, they produce milk containing the protein from which spider silk is made.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A transgenic, or genetically modified, organism is one that has been altered through recombinant DNA technology, which involves either the combining of DNA from different genomes or the insertion of foreign DNA into a genome.
