Genetically engineered bovine (bST), sometimes called rbST (recombinant bovine somatotropin) or rbGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone) are used in
1. therapeutic drugs
2. agriculture
3. dairy industry
4. DNA fingerprinting

The correct statement regarding the human Growth hormone would be that it:
1. Promotes postnatal elongation of bones, primarily during adolescence
2. Is released from posterior pituitary gland
3. Cannot act directly on target tissues, but only by first stimulating IGF-1 release from the liver
4. Is the only hormone that affects growth

Assertion: Growth hormone promtes protein anabolism and retards protein catabolism.
Reason: It increases the use of glucose by normal body cells so that protein breakdown for gluconeogenesis is reduced.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.
