Answer:

The correct answer would be - brain tissues of infected should be separated from the meat so prion will not infect meat and cause disease.

Explanation:

Prions are the protein that leads to the other proteins to misformed or fold like them when getting in touch. These proteins can infect any normal protein through touched or contact. They cause disease in both humans and animals like a cow.

In human CJD is a common prion disease whereas in cows mad cow is normal. There is no known treatment for these diseases however can prevent it by separated animal meat with their brain tissue. Brain tissue mixing up or come in contact with meat can infect the meat with prions and result in disease to the person who eats it.

Thus, the correct answer is - brain tissues of infected should be separated from the meat so prion will not infect meat and cause disease.
