What is the purpose of creating transgenic animals that produce useful biological products?

Options

  1. ATo make medicines cheaper
  2. BTo make medicines more effective
  3. CTo improve the nutritional value of products
  4. DTo test the safety of vaccines

Correct answer

A. To make medicines cheaper

Step-by-step solution

Transgenic animals are created to produce useful biological products as medicines required to treat certain human diseases can contain biological products that are often expensive to make. Biological products: Medicines required to treat certain human diseases can contain biological products, but such products are often expensive to make. Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA (or genes) which codes for a particular product such as human p
