Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing transgenic mice which are being developed for use in testing the safety of vaccines before they are used on humans. Transgenic mice are being used for testing toxicity of drugs. Transgenic animals are made to carry genes, which make then more sensitive to toxic substances than non-transgenic animals. They are then exposed to the toxic substances and the effects studies. Toxicity testing in such animals will allow us to obtain result in less time.
