Question

What is ANDi?
A. Transgenic cow
B. Transgenic dog
C. Transgenic sheep
D. Transgenic monkey

Answer 1

Hint:
ANDi, is the first transgenic monkey. The name ANDi is taken from the acronym of "inserted DNA". In this DNA of a fluorescent jellyfish was inaugurated into an unfertilized egg of a Rhesus monkey in a test tube.

Complete answer:
> Option (A) is a transgenic cow.
Transgenic cows are referred to as genetically modified (GM) cows. They have an extra gene or genes injected into their DNA. The injected gene may be from the same species or from a different species.
> Option (B) is a transgenic dog
The world's first transgenic dog is a cloned beagle named Ruppy – short for Ruby Puppy. The characteristic feature of her and four other beagles is that they all produce a fluorescent protein that glows red under ultraviolet light.
> Option (C) is transgenic sheep
Dolly the sheep is a transgenic sheep. It was produced at the Roslin Institute. Transgenic sheep were produced to examine the possibility that high growth hormone secretion would improve growth characteristics and aid meat production.
> Option (D) - transgenic monkey
The first transgenic monkey is named ANDi. He is known to be a playful, coffee-colored rhesus monkey born on October 2nd, 2000. He has been planned to carry a gene from another species. This work indicates that a foreign gene can be transmitted and inserted into a primate chromosome.

So, the correct option is 'D' - transgenic monkey.

Note:
ANDi is the name of the first genetically modified rhesus monkey. He was born at Oregon Health Sciences University on October 2, 2000. He was given this by OHSU because ANDi stands for iDNA spelled backward.
