Q.The first transgenic cow produced human protein enriched milk. Name the cow and the protein found in milk.

The transgenic cow Rosie was engineered to produce milk enriched with the human protein alpha-lactalbumin.

Rosie, the first transgenic cow, was produced to secrete milk that contained a human gene product, alpha-lactalbumin, which is nutritionally more balanced for human infants than natural bovine milk. This is a classic …

Transgenic animals contain an artificially inserted foreign gene in their genome, introduced to study gene function, produce useful biological products, or model human diseases.

A transgenic animal is one that has had its DNA manipulated to possess and express an extra (foreign) gene. Such animals are useful for studying:

• how genes are regulated and how they affect normal body functions and development.
• how genes contribute to disease, by allowing scientists to study animal models of human diseases. …
