• A. True
• B. False, proteins cannot be produced in milk
  
• C. False, proteins cannot be produced in semen
  
• D. False, animals are not used for protein production
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Proteins

Proteins are the polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds.

They are synthesised with the help of ribosomes and secreted from the cells in milk or semen.

Human proteins

Humans need essential amino acids for their growth in the form of proteins.

Human proteins can be genetically produced in semen or milk of farm animals such as buffalo, cows.

For example, human alpha-lactalbumin was produced in milk of transgenic cow, Rosie.
