The genetically-modified (GM) brinjal in India has been developed for
1. Enhancing shelf life
2. Enhancing mineral content
3. Drought-resistance
4. Insect-resistance

Some of the characteristics of BT cotton are
1. Medium yield, long fibre and resistance to beetle pests
2. High yield and production of toxic protein crystals which kill dipterans pests
3. High yield and resistance to bollworms
4. Long fibre and resistance to aphids

An improved variety of transgenic basmati rice
1. Gives high yield and is rich in vitamin A
2. Is completely resistant to all insect pests and diseases of paddy
3. Gives high yield but has no characteristic aroma
4. Does not require chemical fertilizers and growth hormones

Genetic engineering has been successfully used for producing
1. Transgenic models for studying new treatments for certain cardiac diseases
2. Transgenic Cow-Rosie which produces high fat milk for making ghee
3. Animals like bulls for farm work as they have super power
4. Transgenic mice for testing safety of polio vaccine before use in humans

Maximum number of existing transgenic animals is of
1. Fish
2. Mice
3. Cow
4. Pig

The process of RNA interference has been used in the development of plants resistant to         
1. Nematodes
2. Fungi
3. Viruses
4. Insects

Consumption of which one of the following foods can prevent the kind of blindness associated withvitamin 'A' deficiency?

4. Bt-Brinjal

The first clinical gene therapy was given for treating:
1. Diabetes mellitus
2. Chicken pox
3. Rheumatoid arthritis
4. Adenosine deaminase deficiency

Tobacco plants resistant to a nematode have been developed by the introduction of DNA that produced (in the host cells).
1. both sense and anti-sense RNA
2. a particular hormone
3. An antifeedant
4. a toxic protein

The first human hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology is
1. Insulin
2. Estrogen
3. Thyroxin
4. Progesterone
