  2. Cybrid

  3. Nucleoid

  4. Monohybrid

  5. Dihybrid

  1. Bread making

  2. Fermentation

  3. Cheese making

  4. Synthesis of antibiotics

  5. Synthesis of wine


Correct Option: C

Explanation:

It is considered as the hydrogen uptake gene.

Neurospora used in genetic engineering experiments belongs to which category of fungi?

  1. Ascomycetes

  2. Basidiomycetes

  3. Deuteromycetes

  4. Phcomycetes

  5. Zygomycetes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ascomycota is a division/phylum of the kingdom Fungi. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi.

Antibiotic chloramphenicol is isolated from which of the following organisms?

  1. Eubacteria

  2. Archebacteria

  3. Slime molds

  4. Fungi

  5. Streptomyces


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Streptomyces is the largest genus of Actinobacteria and the type genus of the family Streptomycetaceae. Chloramphenicol is known as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which is synthesized by streptomyces species.

Which of the following is related to genetic engineering?

  1. Plastid

  2. Plasmid

  3. Mutation

  4. Hybrid vigour

  5. Phasmid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A plasmid is a small DNA molecule that is physically separate from and can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA within a cell.Using this property it is extensively used in the genetic engineering experiments.

Birth control pills have

  1. testosterone and estrogens

  2. estrogens and progestrone

  3. testosterone and progestrone

  4. antibiotics and sex hormones

  5. only testosterone


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Birth control pills have estrogens and progestrone in them as these are the female sex hormones.

In which procedure is dextran used?

  1. Blood clotting

  2. Blood preservation

  3. Bleeding

  4. Blood transfusion

  5. Organ transplant


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Blood transfusion is generally a process of receiving blood products into one's circulation intravenously. Dextran is a complex branched glucan composed of chains of varying lengths. It is used medicinally, as an antithrombotic (anti-platelet) to reduce blood viscosity and as a volume expander in anemia.

Regarding the advantages of enzyme immobilization, which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Immobilized enzymes can be used in non-aqueous systems as well, which may be highly desirable in some cases.

  2. Continuous production system can be used, which is not possible with free enzymes.

  3. Thermo stability of some enzymes may be decreased.

  4. Recovery of enzyme may also reduce effluent handling problems.

  5. Enzymes can be used at much higher concentration than free enzyme.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is not true as immobilzation increases the thermotability of enzymes, for example glucose isomerase denatures at 45°C in solution, but is stable for about 1 year even at 65°C when suitably immobilized.

Which of the following enzymes is useful in the manufacturing of detergent?

  1. Amylase

  2. Rennet

  3. Protease

  4. Lactase

  5. Cellulase


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is an enzyme that conducts proteolysis, i.e. begins protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds. It is used in the manufacturing of detergent.

What is a microbial mutant requiring some growth factor in addition to a minimal medium known as?

  1. Auxotroph

  2. Syntroph

  3. Chemoautotroph

  4. Autotroph

  5. Heterotrophs


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An organism, such as a strain of bacteria, that has lost the ability to synthesise certain substances required for its growth and metabolism.

Second generation vaccines produced by genetic engineering are used to prevent which of the following diseases?

  1. Polio

  2. Whooping cough

  3. Tuberculosis

  4. Small pox

  5. Hepatitis B


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is cured by second generation vaccine.These consists of defined protein antigens such as recombinant protein components (such as the hepatitis B surface antigen).

  1. genetic engineering

  2. biochemical genetics

  3. biotechnology

  4. eugenics

  5. dendrochronolgy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Biochemical genetics is the science concerned with the chemical and physical nature of genes and the biochemistry involved in it.

  1. normal antibody producing cell with myeloma

  2. abnormal antibody producing cell with myeloma

  3. male reproducing cell with myeloma

  4. female reproducing cell with myeloma

  5. liver cell with myeloma


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hybridoma technology is a technology of forming hybrid cell lines (called hybridomas) by fusing a specific antibody-producing B cell with a myeloma .
