Answer:
Xenotransplantation can be described as the transplantation in which cells, tissues or organs are taken from a different species and transferred into a different species.
Pigs can be considered a good source of organs for xenotransplantation because:
- They are mammals like humans.
- They can be made to live in better environmental conditions so that the chances of transferring infectious agents along with them decreases.
- The size of most of their organs is similar to humans.
- As pigs are photogenically distant from humans, so there are fewer chances that the infectious agents which infect them would cause any harm in humans.
