- A transformed bacteria
- B transgenic animal
- C transgenic plant
- D a plant from Western ghats
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) transgenic animal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) transgenic animal,
Tracy, a sheep was the first transgenic farm mammal produced in 1985. It contained a human gene which expressed high levels of the human protein \(\alpha\)-1antitrypsin, deficiency of which can lead to a rare form of emphysema in humans.
