Mouse Model
A mouse model is a laboratory mouse used to study some aspect of human physiology or disease.
A mouse which carries experimentally introduced DNA in its genome. Linear DNA is injected into a fertilized embryo at the pro-nuclear stage and may be incorporated into the genome. Injected embryos are implanted into a foster mother.
The Nude Mouse
The nude mouse gets its name because it has no hair. But far more interesting, it is also born without a thymus. These traits result when the mouse is homozygous for a recessive mutant gene designated Foxn1.

Thus, a crippling heritable muscle disorder in mice maps to a location on the mouse X chromosome that is closely analogous to the map location for the X-linked human Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene (DMD).

Transgenic mouse: A mouse which carries experimentally introduced DNA. The procedure by which one makes a transgenic mouse involves the injection of DNA into a fertilized embryo at the pro-nuclear stage.

A mouse can make 10,000,000 antibodies, more than the total genes of the mouse would suggest. Antibody proteins are composed of two long and two short chains. Each species has a constant region characteristic for the species and type of antibody.
The same rules apply if you are a mouse. Not all mice can have fertile babies together. They can't have babies because there are different types of mice. And of course there is you. You can't have babies with a dog.
