Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transgenic animals are often used to produce potentially useful proteins, such as insulin, growth hormones, and clotting factors, for medical purposes. While transgenic animals can be used as food in some cultures, it is not their primary use. They could also be used as vectors for gene therapy, but this is not cloning human DNA. Therefore, the best option is A - to produce potentially useful proteins.
