Which of the following statements are true?

(A) Milk obtained from 'Rosie' is nutritionally more balanced for human babies than natural human milk.

(B) Biopiracy refers to the use of bioresources without proper authorisation from MNCS.

(C) GEAC is the decisive body for safety and validity of GMOS and GM research respectively.

(D) Transgenic animals help us to understand the contribution of genes in the development of disease.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(C) and (D) only

The correct answer is Option (2) - (C) and (D) only

A. In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced human protein-enriched milk (2.4 grams per litre). The milk contained the human alpha-lactalbumin and was nutritionally a more balanced product for human babies than natural cow-milk.

B. Biopiracy is the term used to refer to the use of bio-resources by multinational companies and other organisations without proper authorisation from the countries and people concerned without compensatory payment.
C. GEAC (Genetic Engineering Approval Committee) is an organisations , which will make decisions regarding the validity of GM research and the safety of introducing GM-organisms for public services.

D. Many transgenic animals are designed to increase our understanding of how genes contribute to the development of disease. These are specially made to serve as models for human diseases so that investigation of new treatments for diseases is made possible.
