Genetic engineering has produced goats whose milk contains proteins that can be used as medicines. This effect was produced by
A
mixing genes into the milk
B
injecting genes into the goats udders
C
inserting foreign genes into fertilized goat eggs
D
genetically modifying the nutritional needs of the goats offspring
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Here we report the characterization of transgenic dairy goats producing human lysozyme (HLZ) in their milk, with the potential to have an impact on not only the producer but also the consumer and the animal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Various recombinant proteins have been obtained from the transgenic and non-transgenic goats, and among these, human antithrombin, produced by the transgenic goats, was the first recombinant protein of animal origin to be released as a drug for the clinical use in humans.
