  1. The milk had a protein called human $\alpha - lactalbumin $

  2. The 1st transgenic cow was called Rosie

  3. Both A and B are correct

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The first transgenic cow was Rosie and was produced in 1997. It carried the gene for human alpha-lactalbumin.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B are correct'.

  1. Microprojectile gun method

  2. Microinjection method

  3. Liposome-mediated gene transfer

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Microprojectile gun method is a device for delivering exogenous DNA to cells. Here, the impregnation of the cells with nucleic acid or with other biological molecules is achieved by coating the molecules that are intended to be introduced in to the cells on to micro carriers which generally is high density tungsten micro particles.
Microinjection is a technique of delivering foreign DNA into a living cell through a glass micropipette.
Liposome-mediated gene transfer is cell-type-specific gene transfer vehicles in vitro and in vivo using liposome.
so, the correct answer is option A.

Which of the following is used as a reporter gene?
