Answer 2

Option (c) is the right answer.

Source of transgenic a-1 antitrypsin is Tracy.

- Genetically modified plants and animals were used for the formation of human proteins or either vaccine testing.

- So scientists of Roslin Institute ( Scotland ) developed a genetically modified sheep for the purpose of creating a specific human protein , i.e , alpha - 1 antitrypsin.

- This protein was very vital for treating some rare human diseases , i.e , emphysema and cystic fibrosis.

- Further the milk extracted from Tracy also contained protein equivalent to human milk produced after lactation period , i.e , 50 percent.
