Question

Which of the following statements about genetically modified organisms (GMOS) are correct? Select all that apply. options: Transgenic goats have been engineered with a human gene that produces blood anticoagulant protein. Transgenic mice are frequently used to study the effects of gene mutations. Transgenic bacteria are used to produce protein for human consumption. Transgenic bacteria are used to produce human growth hormone.

Answer 1

Answer:

All the mentioned statements are correct.

Explanation:

GMOs or genetically modified organisms refer to those whose genetic substance, that is, DNA has been manipulated artificially to generate new kind of DNA, which can be utilized for the benefit of humans. The GMOs comprise genetically modified animals, genetically modified crops, and genetically modified bacteria.  

The transgenic bacteria are used to generate protein for human use. The bacteria get changed by administration of the desired protein generating genes and the protein is harvested.  

The anticoagulant proteins called antithrombin are generated from the milk of the transgenic goats.  

The transgenic mice work as a great laboratory resource to examine the influences of gene mutations. Primarily the mutation in human genes is examined.  

Transgenic bacteria are being utilized to generate human growth hormones as well. The genes accountable for the generation of growth hormones are introduced in the bacteria and the growth hormone is translated. Thus, all the given statements are correct.
