Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing.
transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans
transgenic models for studying new treatment for certain cardiac diseases
transgenic cow - roise which produces high fat milk for making ghee
animals like bulls for farm work as they have the super power
As learnt in
Principles -
Biotechnology deals in two principles -
1- Maintenance of microbial contamination free (sterile) surrounding in chemical engineering (old biotechnology).
Ex. production of ethanol by fermentation
2 - Genetic Engineering - It is also known as Recombinant DNA Technology or RDI.
- wherein
Only desired organism grow under sterile condition to produce large amount of desired product.
It is the asexual method of gene transfer across taxonomy boundary.
and
1st Transgenic animal -
In 1982, 1st transgenic mice was obtained , in which human growth harmone (hGH) gene is fused with promoter of mouse metallothionein1(MT1) gene.
- wherein
Transgenic animals are used either as a bioreactor to produce desired product or used to test before applied to human.
Option 1)
transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans
This option is correct
Option 2)
transgenic models for studying new treatment for certain cardiac diseases
This option is incorrect
Option 3)
transgenic cow - roise which produces high fat milk for making ghee
This option is incorrect
Option 4)
