Q. No.Golden rice is a transgenic crop of the future with the following improved trait:
1. High protein content
2. High vitamin – A content
3. High lysine (essential amino acid) content
4. Insect resistance
Golden rice is a promising transgenic crop. When released for cultivation, it will help in:
1. alleviation of vitamin-A deficiency
2. pest resistance
3. herbicide tolerance
4. producing a petrol-like fuel from rice
| 1. | Flavr savr tomatoes |
| 2. | Starlink maize |
| 3. | Bt soybean |
| 4. | Golden rice |
Transgenic plants are:
| 1. | produced by a somatic embryo in artificial medium |
| 2. | generated by introducing foreign DNA into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell |
| 3. | Produced after protoplast fusion in artificial medium |
| 4. | grown in artificial medium after hybridization in the field |
An improved variety of transgenic basmati rice:
| 1. | does not require chemical fertilizers and growth hormones |
| 2. | gives high yield and is rich in vitamin-A |
| 3. | is completely resistant to all insect pests and diseases of paddy |
| 4. | gives high yield but has no characteristic aroma |
Which of the following is true for Golden rice?
| 1. | It has yellow grains, because of gene introduced from a primitive variety of rice |
| 2. | It is Vitamin A enriched, with a gene from daffodil |
| 3. | It is pest resistant, with a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis |
| 4. | It is drought tolerant, developed using Agrobacterium vector |
Golden rice is a genetically modified crop plant where the incorporated gene is meant for the biosynthesis of:
| 1. | Vitamin-B | 2. | Vitamin-C |
