Question

Mice are appropriate choice as transgenic animals for following reasons EXCEPT.

• A. They do not normally exhibit super ovulation
• B. They are used to test safety of polio vaccine
• C. They have short generation time
• D. They exhibit polyembryony

Hint:

{Super ovulation is an advantage, not a limitation, in mice}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Use of mice in transgenic studies.
Mice are commonly used due to short life cycle, easy maintenance and genetic similarity with humans.
Step 2: Evaluating the options.
Mice are capable of super ovulation, which helps in producing many embryos for experimentation.
Step 3: Identifying the incorrect reason.
The statement that mice do not normally exhibit super ovulation is incorrect.
