Question
. Assertion: Transgenic animals are made that carry genes which makes them more sensitive to toxic substances than non transgenic animals. Reason: Toxicity testing in such animals will allow us to obtain result in less time.

Which of the following about transgenic animals used in biomedical research laboratories is TRUE ? Researchers usually test pharmaceutical drugs for safety of use in humans in transgenic plants, worms and flies Only rats and mice are normally used in biomedical research, because they are mammals and the only convenient species with an anatomy and physiology similar to humans. The majority of biomedical research is conducted with rodents, but other model organisms can be used, including fungi, worms and flies. Most often, scientists use random mutagenesis (with drugs or X-rays) to generate the exact same mutation that causes a human disease in laboratory animals.
Assertion: Ti Plasmid is used as cloning vector. Reason: It has ability to deliver gene of our interest to variety of plant and it is modified so now no more pathogenic to plant.
Assertion: Microbes can cause diseases in animals and plants Reason: All microbes are harmful to us.
