The application of biotechnology include
1. Therapeutics, processed food
2. Diagnostics, bioremediation
3. Genetically modified crops, energy production
4. All of these
Genetically modified (GM) crops can be produced by
(1) recombinant DNA technology
(2) somatic hybridization
(3) cross breeding
(4) micropropagation
Which of the following is not an Abiotic stress?
(1) Pest
(2) Cold
(3) Drought
(4) Heat
Which of the following cannot be a mean of increasing food production?
1. Agro-chemical based agriculture
2. Organic agriculture and
3. Genetically engineered crop-based agriculture
4. Inorganic chemical engineering
Genetic modifications cannot cause
(1) Made crops more tolerant to Abiotic stresses
(2) Reduced reliance on chemical pesticides
(3) Increased efficiency of mineral usage by plants
(4) Early exhaustion of fertility of soil
Farmers of developing world cannot rely completely on agro-chemicals because
(1) They are expensive
(2) Don't know how to use
(3) Are not trained to use them
(4) Of infertile soil
Which of the following is not a critical research area of biotechnology
(1) Providing a best catalyst in the form of improved organism usually microbe or pure enzyme
(2) Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act
(3) Downstream processing technologies to purify the protein or organic compound
(4) Upstream processing of all the activated antibodies and plasminogens in plant body
Which of the following is not an example of bio-pesticide
(1) Bt cotton
(2) Bt corn
(3) Bt Soyabean
(4) Chilli
The Green revolution increased the food supply to
(1) Triple fold
(2) Double fold
(3) Four fold
(4) One and half fold
Three critical research areas of biotechnology are:
I. Providing the best catalyst in the form of improved organism usually a microbe or pure enzyme
II. Multiple Ovulation Transfer Technology (MOET)
III. Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act.
IV. Downstream processing technologies
(1) I, II, III, IV
(2) I, III, IV
(3) I, II
(4) II and IV
