Answer:

In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced human alpha-lactalbumin -enriched milk at 2.4 grams per litre. This transgenic milk is a more nutritionally balanced product than natural bovine milk and could be given to babies or the elderly with special nutritional or digestive needs.

Answer:

The first transgenic cow called Rosie produced the human protein-rich milk which was 2.4grams per liter, it was found to be more nutritionally balanced as it contains alpha-lactalbumin.

Explanation:

  • Transgenic cows are genetically modified cows. They are characterized by the presence of an extra gene or the genes are inserted into their DNA. The extra gene may come from the same or different species.
  • Transgene or extra gene is expressed in mammary tissue, therefore it can only be extracted from there and the cow's milk is characterized by transgene protein.
  • Alpha-1 antitrypsin or AAT is another human protein that is found in transgenic cows when they are inserted with specific concerned genes for that protein. It protects the lungs from proteolytic damage by inhibiting neutrophil elastase activity.
