Question

Need help, please.

Describe either 1) how you would go about making a goat that produces
a silk protein (S) in it's milk or 2) how you could create cattle with the
"muscle toughness gene" (M) replaced/knocked-in by a "muscle
smoothness" allele from of the same gene from a rabbit. In other words,
pick either transgenic or knock-in/out mammal, and tell me how you
would make one. Be specific.

Expert Solution

Introduction

"Transgenic" is an alternative term used for "genetically modified organisms", these are those organisms whose genome has been modified by the introduction of foreign gene(s) to obtain the desired product.

On the other hand, if a pre-existing gene(s) is altered or replaced then it is called the gene knock-out/in approach.
