4) Goats have been genetically modified to produce an anticlotting protein in their milk. The protein is extracted from the milk and given to humans who have inherited a disorder that causes their bodies to produce blood clots. A benefit of the technology used to produce this protein is that it a) can be used by people to overcome the effects of a harmful mutation b) can provide people with a new kind of nutrient-rich milk c) will result in healthier goats with more nutritious milk for their offspring d) will reduce blood clots in other farm animals that are modified in this way
