CLONED TRANSGENIC ANIMALS: Organism that is genetically identical to transgenic parent who contains genes from different species as a result of the transfer of genetic material from one species to another
CLONED TRANSGENIC ANIMALS IN THE PRODUCTION OF HUMAN PROTEINS:
- Cloned transgenic animals can be used to produce Human Proteins that can help treat diseases - e.g the use of Transgenic Bacteria to produce large quantities of Human Insulin to treat Diabetes
- Cloned transgenic animals can also be used to develop organs that will not be rejected by the HUman immune system in transplants
Example:
