Question #1
The transgenic cow 'Rosie' was known for producing milk enriched with:
A. Antithrombin
B. Human alpha-lactalbumin
C. Bovine growth hormone
D. Human insulin

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Rosie, the first transgenic cow, produced milk containing human alpha-lactalbumin, a protein important for infant nutrition. This was achieved by introducing the human gene for the protein into the cow. Human insulin is produced in E. coli or yeast, growth hormone in some transgenic animals, and antithrombin in goat milk (ATryn). Transgenic animals are used as bioreactors.

Question #3
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms. 2. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. 3. Viruses have a cellular structure. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms, characterized by the absence of a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, possessing a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and can be unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular (molds, mushrooms). Viruses are acellular, non-cellular entities; they consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat (capsid) and lack any cellular structure or metabolic machinery. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
