How can transgenic organisms help humans?

Transgenic animals are routinely bred to carry human genes, or mutations in specific genes, thus allowing the study of the progression and genetic determinants of various diseases.

Why are transgenic organisms useful?

Transgenic animals have been generated to understand normal physiological processes such as metabolism and blood cell production. Transgenic animals have been used to model human diseases and to develop new treatments. Transgenic crops have been produced that are resistant to infectious diseases and grow faster.

How can transgenic animals affect human life?

Gene therapy of Humans:- transgenic animals could play vital role in the treatment of almost 5000 genetic disorders. For example the scientists of Finland have developed a calf which carries a gene. This gene is responsible for making a substance which promotes the growth of red blood cells in humans.

What are transgenic animals and its benefits?

Transgenic animals are specially designed to study the role of genes in the development of certain diseases. Moreover, in order to devise a cure for these diseases, the transgenic animals are used as model organisms. These transgenic models are used in research for the development of medicines.
