  23. Definition: Transgenic Animal • Animal in which a segment of DNA has been physically inserted into the genome. • The genome of all cells of the organism contains the DNA segment. • The DNA segment is present in the germ line so it can be transmitted to progeny as a Mendelian trait.

  27. Embryonic Stem Cells • Pluripotent stem cells isolated form the inner cell mass of a blastocyst stage mouse embryo. • Cells retain ability to differentiate into all organs and cells. • Cells can be propagated under conditions in vitro that allow them to retain their totipotency- prevent differentiation in vitro. • Can be induced to differentiate in vitro into a number of cell types. ES cells can mimic early mammalian development in vitro. • Can be manipulated in vitro to alter the genome through homologous recombination.
