If the silk protein gene from a spider is attached to a mammary gland promoter and inserted into the first cell of a goat embryo, which of the following statements is correct? A. The silk transgene will be present in only the mammary cells in the adult goat. B. The silk protein will be produced in all the cells of the adult goat. C.

Explanation / Answer

12.Correct answer would be:C.DNA turn into RNA during the process of transcription.

Reason:Gene is a part of DNA that codes for a protein.The process involves firstly transcription through which RNA molecule is produced from gene/DNA.This RNA molecule produces a protein via translation process.This protein determines the traits.

13.Correct answer would be:C.the silk protein will be produced only in the mammary cells in the adult goat.

Reason:The silk gene will be present in all the cells but that will be turned on to express the protein only in the mammary cells due to presence of mammary gland promoter.
