Question:

Which among the following statement is correct about the first transgenic cow 'Rosie' ?

Options:

Protein-enriched milk (2.4 grams per litre).

Has human alpha-lactalbumin.

More balanced product for human babies.

All of these .

Correct Answer:

All of these .

Explanation:

The correct statement about the first transgenic cow "Rosie" is:

"All of these."

Rosie, the first transgenic cow, was genetically engineered to produce milk enriched with human alpha-lactalbumin, a protein found in human breast milk. This modification aimed to make the milk more nutritionally balanced for human babies. Rosie's milk contained approximately 2.4 grams of human alpha-lactalbumin per liter, providing a more balanced product for potential use in infant formula.

So, the correct option is "All of these," as it encompasses the protein-enriched milk, the presence of human alpha-lactalbumin, and the goal of creating a more balanced product for human babies.
