Question

What is the success rate of implementation of transgenic embryos in surrogate dams? A) 50% B)100% C)25% D)<12.5% E12.5%

Answer 1

Answer:

D)<12.5%

Explanation:

Transgenic means one or more than one DNA sequences are introduced from another species by an artificial means into a surrogate dams to form a new offspring. Animals are usually make transgenic by a small sequence of the foreign DNA which is injected to the developing embryo of the surrogate mother.

The success rate for such implementation is nearly less than 12.5%, where most of the trial do not survive the injection. The surrogate mother cannot developed in most cases the implementation of one or more species into another.
