AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down into a step-by-step solution. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that the milk of the first transgenic cow, 'Rosie', is far better than natural cow milk. **Hint:** Consider what makes milk "better" in terms of nutritional value and health benefits. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason given is that Rosie produces human protein, specifically alpha-lactalbumin, which enriches the milk. **Hint:** Think about the significance of human proteins in milk and how they might benefit human health, especially for infants. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of the Assertion The assertion is true because Rosie, being a transgenic cow, was genetically engineered to produce milk that is nutritionally superior to that of regular cows. This milk is particularly beneficial for human infants. **Hint:** Reflect on the advancements in biotechnology and how they can enhance the nutritional profile of animal products. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Truth of the Reason The reason is also true. Alpha-lactalbumin is a protein that is found in human milk and is essential for the growth and development of infants. The presence of this protein in Rosie's milk makes it nutritionally balanced and beneficial. **Hint:** Consider the role of proteins in nutrition and how specific proteins can impact health. ### Step 5: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for why the assertion is true, we conclude that the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. **Hint:** Look for logical connections between statements to see if one supports the other. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the answer is that both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
