Question

Explain the role of transgenic animals in chemical safety testing.

Answer 1

Transgenic animals are used in chemical safety testing to determine the toxicity of chemicals. This is referred to as toxicity and safety testing. Transgenic animals are created with genes that make them more susceptible to hazardous substances than non-transgenic animals. They are then exposed to harmful compounds, and the effects are investigated. Toxicity testing in such animals will allow us to gather results more quickly.
