I. GEAC

A. ELISA - Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies or antigens in a sample. It is widely used in medical and research settings for various purposes, including disease diagnosis.

B. Medicines required to treat certain human diseases can contain biological products, but such products are often expensive to make. Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA (or genes) which codes for a particular product such as human protein (α-1-antitrypsin) used to treat emphysema.

C. In 1997, scientists achieved a significant breakthrough by creating the first transgenic cow named Rosie. This cow was genetically modified to produce human protein-enriched milk, specifically containing human alpha-lactalbumin. Alpha-lactalbumin is a protein found in human breast milk that plays a crucial role in providing essential nutrients and immune factors to human infants.

D. The Indian Government has set up organisations such as GEAC (Genetic Engineering Approval Committee), which will make decisions regarding the validity of GM research and the safety of introducing GM-organisms for public services.
