Identify the incorrectly matched pair regarding the applications of biotechnology.

Options

  1. ATransgenic mice : Testing the safety of polio vaccine
  2. BTransgenic cow Rosie : Milk enriched with human -lactalbumin
  3. CTransgenic animals : Production of -1-antitrypsin to treat cystic fibrosis
  4. DMeloidogyne incognita : Nematode against which RNA interference strategy is used in tobacco

Correct answer

C. Transgenic animals : Production of -1-antitrypsin to treat cystic fibrosis

Step-by-step solution

The pair in the third option is incorrectly matched. Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA which codes for a particular product. The human protein -1-antitrypsin is used to treat emphysema, not cystic fibrosis. While similar attempts are being made for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU) and cystic fibrosis, -1-antitrypsin is specifically for emphysema. Transgenic mice are indeed used to test the safety of the polio vaccine. The first
