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

Answer 1

The correct option is D True

Presence of proteins

Proteins essential to humans like the 𝛼 antitrypsin protein that is used to treat cystic fibrosis can be produced in the milk of transgenic sheep. The semen of transgenic pigs has been found to have recombinant proteins as well. Thus, proteins may be secreted in milk or semen of farm animals.

Final answer

a. True
