Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing
A
Animals like bulls for farm work as they have super power
B
Transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans
C
Transgenic models for studying new treatments for certain cardiac diseases
D
Transgenic Cow – Rosie which produces high fat milk for making ghee
Detailed 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 to test the safety of the polio vaccine. This statement is correct.
Transgenic models exist for many human diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease, but cardiac diseases are not among those listed in NCERT.
Rosie, the first transgenic cow, produced human protein-enriched milk containing human alpha-lactalbumin (2.4 g per litre), not high-fat milk.
No 'super power' bulls have been produced by genetic engineering.
Hence genetic engineering has been used to produce transgenic mice for testing the safety of polio vaccine.
