Got Milk? Got Allergies? October 3, 2012: People with milk allergies often turn to products like rice and soy milks. But now there is a new source of hypoallergenic milk available from genetically-modified cows. New Zealand scientists have produced a calf that gives milk lacking a certain protein, called beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), that causes an immune response in people with milk allergies. To get the milk this way, scientists inserted a specially designed gene into cow embryos that prevented the production of BLG. Hypoallergenic milk could be a boon for the 2 to 3 percent of babies in developed countries that have allergies to proteins in milk. Three of the choices below accurately describe how producing hypoallergenic milk is a method of artificial selection rather than natural selection.%C2%A0 Which of the following choices is NOT accurate regarding artificial selection? (1 point)
A. Scientists specifically chose to insert a gene into cow embryos that would result in milk lacking a certain protein
B. The production of hypoallergenic milk involves direct manipulation of genetic material
C. The process of producing hypoallergenic milk is driven by human intervention and selective breeding
D. The cows naturally developed the ability to produce hypoallergenic milk on their own without human interference
