AMU Medical AMU Solved Paper-1995

  • question_answer
    One method of biotechnology for Animal Breeding Programmes to improve yield of milk/meat/wool in catties, goat, sheep, is to incorporate new/foreign genes into the genome of their fertilized eggs to produce

    A)  hybrids

    B)  \[{{F}_{1}}\] generation

    C)  transgenic individuals

    D)  \[{{F}_{2}}\] generation.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : In transgenic animals one or more copies of a foreign gene are added to their genome. In this technique a certain percentage of genes injected into a fertilized mouse ovum will be incorporated into the genome and found in both somatic and germ cells. Hundreds of transgenic animals have been established, and these are proving to be useful for analysis of tissue-specific effects on gene expression and effects of overproduction of gene products (e.g., those from the growth hormone gene or oncogenes) and in discovering genes involved in development.
