Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer questions.
Artist Eduardo Kac includes "bio art" among his specialties. In 2000, he unveiled "Alba," an albino rabbit with some unusual features. Alba's cells produce GFP, a green fluorescent protein naturally found in a species of jellyfish. When Alba is illuminated with blue light, she fluoresces a bright lime green color. Born in France, this unique work of living art went home with Kac, his wife, and his daughter to live with them as a family pet in their Chicago home.
-Which of the following describes the steps most likely used to produce Alba?

• A) Jellyfish cells were fused with rabbit embryo cells, the cells were grown for a while in a lab, and then implanted into a surrogate mother rabbit.
• B) DNA for GFP was given a rabbit regulatory sequence, injected into a fertilized rabbit egg, and implanted into a surrogate mother rabbit.
• C) The GFP gene was removed from jellyfish DNA, injected into rabbit cells, and then implanted into a surrogate mother rabbit.
• D) Jellyfish DNA was injected into an unfertilized rabbit egg, and then the egg was implanted into a surrogate mother rabbit.
• E) Jellyfish sperm were used to fertilize rabbit eggs, and resulting offspring were examined for desired traits.
