Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Gene pharming
Concept:

Biomedical application of transgenic livestock bioreactors.

Solution:

Gene pharming refers to the genetic modification of agricultural livestock (e.g., sheep, goats, cows) to express human therapeutic proteins and pharmaceuticals in their milk or secretions.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • Gene therapy: Direct delivery of functional therapeutic genes into patient somatic cells to treat disease.


  • Gene cloning: Production of identical molecular copies of a specific gene sequence using host vectors.


  • Gene mapping: Determining the relative chromosomal loci and physical distances of genes.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
