Question 1
1 / -0

The purpose of biopiracy is

A
Introduction of new plant varieties

B
Introduction of new living organisms

C
Production of pharmaceuticals

D
All of the above

Solution

Biopiracy is done by scientists of countries for studying and creating of new plant and animal varieties without obtaining a licensee. They can also cause biopiracy in order to produce pharmaceuticals without licensee.
So, the correct answer is "All of the above".
Question 2
1 / -0

Which of the following pirates the 200 strains of fungi from Thailand?

A
British University of Portsmouth

B
The royal garden

C
University of Mississippi

D
None of the above

Solution

Answer is option A i.e. "British University of Portsmouth"
Thailand's Ministry of Science says that Portsmouth University is guilty of "biopiracy" because it failed to return the 200 specimens of fungi which could provide a cure for cancer and were collected by Portsmouth University staff on a research trip to Thailand. Biopiracy is unethical,unlawful or commercial exploitation of biological materials that are native to a particular country.
Question 3
1 / -0

Which of the following country is principle patenting pirate?

A
USA

B
Japan

C
Germany

D
All of the above

Solution

D. All of the above
solution : country taking large number of patent of natural resources or field informations from other country or groups and having large number of piracy are called country with principle patenting pirate.Countries like USA patenting piracy of neem,basmati rice,Japan with barley and Germany also include.
so the correct option is D.
Question 4
1 / -0

Biopiracy is related to

A
Traditional knowledge

B
Biomolecules and bio resources

C
Isolated genes from bio resources

D
All of the above

Solution

D. all of the above
Solution : Biopiracy or the use of patented information or organism without the license. It is done by countries for any traditional knowledge or Biopiracy on biomolecules and bio resources and genes isolated from those resources.
So the correct answer is "all of the above"
Question 5
1 / -0

Genetic material with potential value is

A
DNA

B
Genetic resources

C
RNA

D
None of these

Solution

Genetic resources are the genes found in plants and animals that are of actual or potential value to people. Through the use of new biotechnologies, genes from any organism can be transferred to another. Plant and animal breeders, for example, use genes found in wild species, and genetically engineered organisms are now being used for new industrial applications such as mining, wastewater treatment, etc. Thus option B is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Use of biological resources without permission is _____________.

A
Biopatent

B
Bioethics

C
Biopiracy

D
All of the above
Solution
Biopiracy is the use of biological resources owned by a country or patentee without their permission or license.
Bioethics is the study of the ethical issues emerging from advances in biology and medicine.
A biopatent is a patent granted by the government to the inventor for biological entities and for products obtained from them.
So, the correct answer is "Biopiracy".
Question 7
1 / -0

The royal botanical garden took cinchona seeds from .......... and planted in India.

A
Africa

B
Bolivia

C
Thailand

D
USA

Solution

B. Bolivia
Solution : the cinchona seeds were taken from Bolivia and planted in India by Royal botanical garden mainly for the treatment of malaria.
So the correct answer is "Bolivia"
Question 8
1 / -0

Flavr Savr tomato is genetically modified

A
To reduce its flowering

B
To reduce its ripening rate

C
To reduce its fruiting rate

D
None of the above

Solution

Flavr Savr is a genetically modified tomato. This was the first commercially grown genetically engineered food. Flavr Savr tomato is more resistant to rotting. This feature is due to the introduction of an antisense gene which interferes with the production of enzyme polygalacturonase. This enzyme is responsible for the degradation of pectin which is present in the cell wall of the fruit. This results in the softening and makes the fruit susceptible to fungal infections. The modified fruit has extended shelf life due to the reduction in the ripening rate.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Question 9
1 / -0

A plant containing variation in the genetic composition is an example of _________.

A
Gene pool

B
Chromosome

C
Genetic resources

D
None of the above

Solution

Genetic resources are the genes found in plants and animals that are actual or potential value to people. Thus a plant containing variation in the genetic composition is an example of genetic resources. Hence option C is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Biopiracy is

A
Use of biopatents

B
Thefts of plants and animals

C
Stealing of bioresources

D
Exploitation of bioresources without authentic permission
Solution
Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
- Biopiracy is the commercial exploitation of a company's bioresources by organizations and multinationals, with or without a patent, but without an Access and Benefit Sharing Agreement (ABA).
- All organisms that can give commercial advantages are considered bioresources or biological resources.
- They are plentiful in poor nations and have traditional bioresource expertise.
- Developed nations, on the other hand, are deficient in bioresources but abundant in technology.
- Traditional knowledge aids in the development of refined products for commercialization by saving time, effort, and money.
- As a result, based on conventional knowledge, industrialized nations' institutions and enterprises are acquiring and exploiting bioresources from other countries by patenting them.
