Question

Which statement best describes a result of this process? *

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks some parts. The missing part is as follows:

" Scientists have used genes from spiders to genetically engineer goats that produce silk strands along with their milk".

The answer is Spider silk proteins can now be produced in large quantities without killing spiders to obtain them.

Explanation:

The procedure in this question is describing genetic engineering/modification, which involves manipulating the genome of an organism in order to obtain desirable traits. In this case, certain genes from spiders have been used to genetically modify goats, which now produce silk strands along with their milk.

This process means that silk proteins, which is naturally produced by spiders, can now be produced in large quantities without having to kill spiders to get it since it will nor be produced alongside milk by GM goats.
