Cry Proteins and Bt Technology — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptWhat are Cry proteins? Name an organism that produce it. How has man exploited this protein to his benefit?
Assertion (A): Transgenic animals can produce human proteins in their milk. Reason (R): The transgenic cow Rosie produced human insulin in her milk at 2.4 grams per litre.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
NCERT confirms transgenic animals can produce human proteins in milk. However, NCERT states “In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced human protein-enriched milk (2.4 grams per litre)” - Rosie produced human protein-enriched milk, not specifically human insulin. The Reason incorrectly specifies insulin instead of the general human proteins that were actually produced.
