Quiz Instructions D Question 43 2 pts Why was the coding region of the gene for human antithrombin placed near the regulatory region of a gene that is only expressed in the goat's mammary cells? O This ensured that the protein would be produced at high levels in all cells O This ensured that the protein would appear in the milk. O This ensured that the two proteins would combine into a larger protein. Both genes produce commercially desirable proteins Only mammary cells actually produce protein s Previous Not saved Submit Quiz

Explanation / Answer

This ensures that protien would appear in milk.

In biotechnology, we can acheive gene product for human antithrombin gene by placing Gene for antithrombin next to a goat regulatory sequence so that this gene is expressed in goat mammary glands and appears in milk.
