The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that the milk of transgenic cow Rosie was nutritionally more balanced than normal cow milk. - Rosie was indeed the first transgenic cow, and her milk was genetically modified to contain a human protein called alpha-lactalbumin, which enhances the nutritional profile of the milk. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that alpha-1 antitrypsin is a biological product produced by transgenic animals. - Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a protein that can be produced by transgenic animals, including transgenic sheep. - While this statement is also **true**, it is important to note that it does not directly explain why Rosie’s milk is more nutritionally balanced. Rosie’s milk is enhanced by alpha-lactalbumin, not alpha-1 antitrypsin. 3. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true. - However, the reason (R) does not correctly explain the assertion (A) because it refers to a different protein (alpha-1 antitrypsin) that is not related to the nutritional enhancement of Rosie’s milk. - Therefore, the correct answer is: **Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation for A**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation for A**. ---
