Vaccine Safety

Q.

Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing

1. transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans

2. transgenic models for studying new treatments for certain cardiac disease

3. transgenic Cow Rosie, which produces high fat milk for making ghee

4. Animals like bulls for farm work as they have super power

Q. Assertion: Transgenic mice are being used to test the safety of the polio vaccine
Reason: It could replace the use of monkeys to test the safety of the vaccine

1. Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
2. Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
3. The assertion is correct but reason is incorrect
4. Both assertion and reason statements are incorrect

Q. With respect to the chemical safety testing, transgenic animals are made to carry genes which makes them

1. insensitive to toxic chemicals
2. sensitive to toxic chemicals
3. sensitive to toxic chemicals and then these animals are exposed to the nontoxic substances
4. Both b and c are correct
