Solution
Transgenic pigs with faster growth rate were produced by the introduction of a transgene consisting of mouse metallothionein as a promoter and human growth hormone as a structural gene.
Explanation:
The mouse metallothionein promoter controls the expression of the human growth hormone gene, leading to enhanced growth in the transgenic pigs. This genetic engineering technique allows the pig to express the human growth hormone effectively, resulting in a faster growth rate.
