Question

Assertion (A): The milk produced by transgenic cow Rosie’ was nutritionally more balanced product for human babies than natural cow milk.

Reason (R): It was human protein enriched milk containing human alpha lactaglobulin.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

Explanation: 

Both statements are true, and R correctly explains. Rosie was the first transgenic cow in which the human alpha‑lactalbumin gene was introduced, and the resulting human milk protein made her milk nutritionally richer and more similar to human milk for infant use.
