Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing:

1. transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans
2. transgenic models for studying new treatments for certain cardiac diseases
3. transgenic cow – rosie which produces high fat milk for making ghee
4. animals like bulls for farm work as they have super power

Correct answer: transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans

Solution

Genetic engineering has produced transgenic mice that serve as model organisms in research, including safety testing of vaccines such as polio before they are given to humans. The other options are either incorrect applications or not established examples of successful genetic engineering.
