The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding what transgenic Brassica napus has been used for the synthesis of, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Transgenic Organisms**: - Transgenic organisms are those that have had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into their genome. This process alters their genetic material. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options provided are: - Herodin - Herparin - Polygalacturonase - Cryoprotein 3. **Researching the Function of Each Option**: - **Herodin**: A protein that prevents blood clotting. - **Herparin**: An anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots. - **Polygalacturonase**: An enzyme involved in the breakdown of pectin in plant cell walls. - **Cryoprotein**: Proteins that protect cells from freezing. 4. **Determining the Correct Answer**: - The gene encoding **herodin** was chemically synthesized and then transferred into Brassica napus. This allows the plant to produce herodin, which accumulates in its seeds and can be purified for medicinal use. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the above analysis, the correct answer is that transgenic Brassica napus has been used for the synthesis of **herodin**. ### Final Answer: Transgenic Brassica napus has been used for the synthesis of **herodin**. ---
