Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Dolly’
Detailed explanation-2: -Through genetic engineering some varieties have been produced that could directly fix atmospheric nitrogen and thus there is no dependence on fertilizers. Scientists have developed transgenic potato, tobacco, cotton, corn, strawberry, rape seeds that are resistant to insect pests and certain weedicides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic engineering refers to the altering of an organisms genetic code through the addition, deletion, or modification of an organisms genes. A good example of genetic engineering is the agricultural crop corn.
Detailed explanation-4: -In medication, genetic engineering has been utilized to massproduce insulin, human development hormones, follistim (for rewarding infertility), human albumin, monoclonal antibodies, antihemophilic variables, immunizations, and numerous different medications.
