In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced human protein-enriched milk. Which of the following correctly identifies the specific human protein present in her milk and its concentration?

Options

  1. AHuman -lactalbumin, 2.4 grams per litre
  2. BHuman -lactalbumin, 4.2 grams per litre
  3. C- 1 -antitrypsin, 2.4 grams per litre
  4. D-galactosidase, 2.4 grams per litre

Correct answer

A. Human -lactalbumin, 2.4 grams per litre

Step-by-step solution

In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced human protein-enriched milk at a concentration of 2.4 grams per litre. The milk contained the human protein -lactalbumin, making it nutritionally a more balanced product for human babies than natural cow milk. - 1 -antitrypsin is a different human protein obtained from transgenic animals, used to treat emphysema. Answer: Human -lactalbumin, 2.4 grams per litre
