The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about transgenic animals are false, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i): Transgenic animals are designed to study how genes are regulated.** - This statement is **true**. Transgenic animals have modified genes that allow researchers to study gene regulation and its effects on physiology and disease. 2. **Statement (ii): They are specially made to serve as models for human diseases.** - This statement is also **true**. Transgenic animals are often created to mimic human diseases, which helps in understanding disease mechanisms and testing treatments. 3. **Statement (iii): Transgenic cow Rosie was created to produce human protein alpha-1 antitrypsin.** - This statement is **false**. Transgenic cow Rosie was actually created to produce the human protein alpha-lactalbumin, not alpha-1 antitrypsin. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 4. **Statement (iv): Transgenic mice are used to test the safety of vaccines.** - This statement is **true**. Transgenic mice are commonly used in research to test the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other medical treatments. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the only false statement is **(iii)**. Thus, the answer to the question is that the false statement about transgenic animals is: **Answer: (iii) only** ---
