Solution
Study of diseases : Many transgenic animals are designed to study how genes contribute to the development of disease. Vaccine safety : Transgenic mice are being used to test the safety of poliovaccine.
Bioreacters : Transgenic animals would also be useful as bioreactors to produce pharmacologically important proteins such as alpha – 1 – antitrypsin.
Chemical safety testing : Transgenic animals carry genes which make them more sensitive to toxic substances than non transgenic animals.
