The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Transgenic Animals**: Transgenic animals are those whose genomes have been altered through genetic engineering. This alteration is typically achieved using recombinant DNA technology (rDNA technology). 2. **Identifying Common Transgenic Animals**: Various species have been genetically modified, including rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep, cows, and fish. However, the question focuses on the percentage of transgenic animals produced. 3. **Analyzing the Data**: It is noted that over 95% of all existing transgenic animals are of a specific type. 4. **Identifying the Most Common Transgenic Animal**: Among the various transgenic animals produced, mice are the most commonly used. They account for a significant majority of transgenic animals due to their small size, short life cycle, and ease of genetic manipulation. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that over 95% of all existing transgenic animals are mice. **Final Answer**: Mice ---
