Correct answer
D. Both 1 and 2 are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Transgenic rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep, cows and fish have been produced, although over 95 per cent of all existing transgenic animals are miceToxicity testing in transgenic animals will allow to obtain results in less time. Chemical safety testing is known as toxicity testing. Transgenic animals are made that carry genes which make them more sensitive to toxic substances than non-transgenic animals. They are then exposed to the toxic substances and the effects studied. Toxicity testing in such animals will allow us
