MCQ
Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing
  • transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans
  • B
    transgenic models for studying new treatments for certain cardiac diseases
  • C
    transgenic cow­-Rosie which produces high fat milk for making ghee
  • D
    animals like bulls for farm work as they have super power.

Answer

Correct option: A.
transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans
a
(a) : Many transgenic animals are designed to increase our understanding of how genes contribute to the development of diseases. These are specially made to serve as models for humandiseases so that investigation of new treatments for diseases is made possible. Today transgenic models exist for many human diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s. 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.
