Which among the following is not true regarding genetically modified organisms ?
Options:
Transgenic mice are being tested to ensure safety of polio vaccine.
Rosie was the first transgenic sheep.
Transgenic cow produced milk contained the alpha-lactalbumin .
None of these .
Correct Answer:
Rosie was the first transgenic sheep.
Explanation:
Transgenic mice are being formed for use in testing the safety of vaccines before they are used on human beings. These mice are being used to test the safety of the polio vaccines. 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.
