    Solutions

     

     

    Norin-10 gene is used to obtain dwarf varieties of crops like rice and wheat. This gene is introduced in crop plants by using technique of genetic engineering.

     

     

  • Question 9/15
    1 / -0.25

     

    Which of the following algae can be used as single cell protein?

     

    Solutions

     

     

    Spirulina is single celled algae that can be easily grown in starch containing medium life waste water from potato processing plants. It contains high quantity of protein that can be easily used by human beings.
