Question
Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing
Options
A.transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans
B.transgenic models for studyings new tratements for certains cardiac diseases
C. transgenic cow- Rosie which produces high fat milk for making ghee
D.animals like bulls for farm work as they have super power
Solution
Transgenic mice are being developed for use in testing the safety of vaccines before they are used on humans. Transgenic mice are being used for testing toxicity of drugs. Transgenic animals are made that carry gene, which make them more sensitive to toxic substance than non-transgenic animals. they are been exposed to the toxic substance and the effect studied. Toxicity testing in such animals will allow us to obtain results in the less time.
