Q2: What do you mean by Chemical Transfection Method?
Answer:
In this method, when calcium phosphate was present the target DNA is taken up. The chemical method of gene transfection consists of transformation.
Q4: Write the application of Transgenic Animals.
Answer:

- Study of Diseases
- Safety of Vaccines
- Biological Products
Q5: What do you mean by Physical Transfection Method?
Answer:
It is the first method in which the interested gene is directly injected into the pronucleus of the fertilized ovum.
