    Assertion (A) : Rosie was the first transgenic cow. Reason (R): It contained human alpha lactalbumin.

    Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same: Transgenic animals have their DNA manipulated to possess and express an extra gene. The genome of these animals has been changed and they can carry genes from other species. The first transgenic sheep was Tracy. The reason behind producing these transgenic animals are for specific economic trait, some are produced as disease models (animals genetically manipulated to exhibit disease symptoms so that effective treatment can be studied) The 1st transgenic cow is :
