  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    A massive population undergoing the nutritional deficiency can be treated by 
    Solution
    Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. It is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. This can be done either through selective breeding or genetic modifications. This method is employed to improve public health. Breeding of crops with improved nutritional quality is undertaken to improve the content of proteins, oil, vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients in crops. This process can be used for the production of the staple crops with higher levels of essential nutrients. This food can be used to prevent or treat the population which suffer from nutritional deficiency. The food which is selected for fortification is the food which can be made available even in the rural areas. 
    Thus, the correct answer is option A. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Which of the following technique can fill the deficiency of micronutrients?
    Solution
    Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. It is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. The micronutrients are not present in every type of food and results in the deficiency diseases. The plants can be developed to produce the micronutrients through hybridization or selective breeding. These foods can be helpful to prevent deficiency disorders. 
    Thus, the correct answer is option B. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Zinc, iron and vitamin A deficiency can be sorted out by 
    Solution
    Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. This process can be used for the production of the staple crops with higher levels of essential nutrients. The staple crops like wheat are fortified with zinc and the golden rice, rice is fortified to produce beta-carotene. Rice and sweet potato can be fortified with iron. The rural areas generally feed on the staple crops and suffer from nutrient deficiency. The consumption of this fortified crops will prevent the deficiency disorders and improve the health of the people in the rural areas. 
    Thus, the correct answer is option A. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Maize hybrids developed by biofortification technique was mainly done to improve which of the following micronutrients?
    Solution
    Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. This can be done either through selective breeding or genetic modifications.The maize plant was hybridised to form a new variety to produce more amount of amino acids in the seed. The amino acids tryptophan and lysine was produced in large quantities by the new variety of the maize plants obtained on hybridization. 
    Thus, the correct answer is option B. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which of the following agronomic trait can be fortified in beans?
    Solution
    Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. It is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. The beans are fortified with iron, proteins and other nutrients. In order to obtain more yield, breeding of the plant is performed to obtain the resistant variety of plants. Resistance to virus, heat and drought tolerance are some of the characteristics which are selected for breeding.
    Thus, the correct answer is option D. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Bread fortified with folate can help in 
    Solution
    Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. It is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. The folate is responsible for the spinal cord development and development of the brain. An adequate amount of folate taken by the pregnant women prevents the chances of neural tube defects in the foetus. 
    Thus, the correct answer is option D. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Isinglass is prepared from
    Solution
    Isinglass is the transparent form of gelatin used to form jellies, glue and in the refining of beer, wine etc. It is prepared from dried swim blabber of fish, especially sturgeon fish. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Dead and dried cell mass of microbes having nutritive value is also known as
    Solution
    Dead and dried cell mass of microbes having nutritive value is also known as SCP (single cell protein). It is derived from a single celled organism like yeast, bacteria alga etc. It is used as a food supplement. For example, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida lipolytica are used as SCP. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Biofortification is an example of application of
    Solution
    • Bioinformatics is a branch of biology in which computer technology is used in the molecular field. 
    • Biofortification is the process by which genetic engineering is used for breeding crops to increase its nutritive value.
    • Sustainable development is defined as a development to fulfil the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements. 
    • Organic farming is is a method which includes the cultivation of plants and rearing of animals in best natural ways. 
    Hence, the correct answer is option B, i.e., Biotechnology.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Single cell protein refers to
    Solution
    Single-cell protein is a protein extracted from the pure or mixed culture of organisms or cells such as algae, bacteria, etc. It is used as a food supplement to humans and animals. It is produced by the microorganism which has 30-70% of protein content in its dry mass. 
    Thus, the correct answer is option B.
