  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Biopiracy is widespread in

    Solution
    Biopiracy is the term used to refer to the use of bio-resources by multinational companies and other organisations without proper authorisation from the countries and people concerned without compensatory payment. Biopiracy is widespread in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, where abundant biological resources are produced. 
    So, the correct answer is option D.
  • Question 2

    Solution

    Biopiracy is the term used to refer to the use of bio-resources by multinational companies and other organisations without proper authorisation from the countries and people concerned without compensatory payment. 

    So, the correct answer is ' Biopiracy'.
  • Question 3

    Human insulin can be mass-produced using genetically modified bacteria. The human insulin gene is added to a bacterial strain, and the bacteria will produce the human protein. This process demonstrates that
    Solution
    Human insulin can be mass produced using genetically modified bacteria, human insulin gene is added to the bacterial plasmid, which replicates and produces the protein. DNA in all organisms is chemically same but functionally different.
    So, the correct answer is 'Bacteria have mechanisms for identifying and translating foreign DNA'
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Who initiates the campaign against basmati rice?
    Solution
    • WIPO stands for World Intellectual Property Organization which is responsible to promote the protection of intellectual property worldwide.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is not a GMO?
    Solution
    In a genetically modified organism, the DNA of the organism is altered. Bt brinjal is inserted with a new gene for cry proteins. This protein which is produced helps to protect the crop plant from the infestation by boll worm. The golden rice is introduced with a gene which produces pro-vitamin A. This helps to provide the common people with the vitamin and reduce the chances of people losing their eyesight due to vitamin deficiency. Tracy is the modified sheep produced by genetic engineering. The sheep is capable to produce the human protein alpha antitrypsin, in her milk. This can be used as a therapeutic product. Dolly is the first sheep which was made by cloning technique
    So, the correct answer is 'Dolly'
  • Question 6

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is the key principle of bioethics?
    Solution
    Bioethics is the ethical issue that has emerged from the advances in biological fields and medicine. Bioethics includes animal rights and environmental ethics for its protection. It also includes autonomy or the ability of a person to make his or her own decisions. For example, a patient can decide whether or not to undergo a particular surgery.
    So, the correct answer is "All of the above".
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Meristem culture is practised on horticulture to get
    Solution
    In meristem culture, shoot apex is used as an explant that possesses meristematic cells that have the ability to divide continuously and thus do not carry a virus. Thus the plantlets produced from this culture are virus-free plants.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the correct application of biotechnology in food processing.
    Solution
    Answer is option A i.e. "Conversion of perishable raw material into the nonperishable food product"
    Biotechnology in the food processing sector makes use of micro-organisms for the preservation of food. Food processing is a process by which perishable raw materials are converted to edible and  non-perishable foods and beverages, which have a longer shelf life.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The application of biotechnology in agricultural field includes 
    Solution
    D. All of the above
    Solution : The application of biotechnology is used in agricultural fields where they can be used as biosensors for detection of infection caused by pathogens. They can also be used for quality control and regular checking of dairy products. They can also be used in monitoring activity of organisms in livestock.
    So the correct answer is "All of the above".
