Scientists produced genetically modified zebra fish, specifically the GloFish, by inserting a gene from a jellyfish that encodes for a fluorescent protein. This process typically involves microinjection or electroporation to introduce the foreign DNA into the fertilized eggs of the zebra fish. As the embryos develop, those that successfully express the fluorescent protein exhibit vibrant colors, making them visually distinct. The resulting fish are then bred to produce offspring that carry the genetic modification.
