4) Goats have been genetically modified to produce an anticlotting protein in their milk. The protein is extracted from the milk and given to humans who have inherited a disorder that causes their bodies to produce blood clots. A benefit of the technology used to produce this protein is that it
a) can be used by people to overcome the effects of a harmful mutation
b) can provide people with a new kind of nutrient-rich milk
c) will result in healthier goats with more nutritious milk for their offspring
d) will reduce blood clots in other farm animals that are modified in this way
A. What do scientists do to adult cells to make them “behave” like embryos?
B. Transgenic, cloned sheep were used to produce what medical protein?
Are mutations harmful?a. Yes, because the DNA is damaged.b. No, because changes in the DNA result in better alleles.c. Yes, because mutated proteins don’t function.d. It depends on how the mutation affects the protein’s function.
