Question

Which statement best describes a result of this process? *

The spider from which the DNA sample was obtained can no longer produce spider silk
The goat milk now contains DNA molecules made of spider silk proteins.
Spider silk proteins can now be produced in large quantities without killing spiders to obtain them.
Both the spider and the goat can now produce both spider silk and goat milk

Answer 1

The goat milk now contains DNA molecules made of spider silk proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that best describes the result of the process is:

The goat milk now contains DNA molecules made of spider silk proteins.

In this process, scientists have successfully expressed spider silk proteins in the milk of transgenic sheep and goats, which means that the goat milk now contains the DNA molecules responsible for producing spider silk proteins.

This method allows for the mass production of spider silk proteins without the need to harm or kill spiders to obtain them.

Answer 2

This question is incomplete as it lacks some parts. The missing part is as follows:

" Scientists have used genes from spiders to genetically engineer goats that produce silk strands along with their milk".

The answer is Spider silk proteins can now be produced in large quantities without killing spiders to obtain them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The procedure in this question is describing genetic engineering/modification, which involves manipulating the genome of an organism in order to obtain desirable traits. In this case, certain genes from spiders have been used to genetically modify goats, which now produce silk strands along with their milk.

This process means that silk proteins, which is naturally produced by spiders, can now be produced in large quantities without having to kill spiders to get it since it will nor be produced alongside milk by GM goats.
