Question

Which of the following does the author suggest about the "female goats" mentioned in line 68619?

• A. They secreted antithrombin in their milk after giving birth.
• B. Some of their kids were not born with the antithrombin gene.
• C. They were the first animals to receive microinjections.
• D. Their cells already contained genes usually found in humans.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

They secreted antithrombin in their milk after giving birth.

The correct answer would be option A. The passage clearly states that the antithrombin is active in the goat's mammary glands during milk production, i.e., it is secreted in their milk after giving birth. The statements of options B,C and D are in no way connected to the female goats mentioned in the passage. Thus, the other options are incorrect.
