  • Question 1/10
    4 / -1

    Why is PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) important in the field of biotechnology?

    Solutions

    PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is important in the field of biotechnology because it allows for the amplification of small DNA samples for further analysis. This technique enables scientists to generate millions of copies of a specific DNA segment quickly, which is crucial for various applications, including genetic testing, forensic analysis, and the diagnosis of diseases. PCR's ability to amplify DNA from minute samples has revolutionized genetic research and diagnostics.

     

  • Question 2/10
    4 / -1

    What is the primary purpose of creating genetically modified (GM) crops?

    Solutions

    The primary purpose of creating genetically modified (GM) crops is to increase their resistance to diseases, pests, and abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. This genetic modification aims to improve crop yield and quality, reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides, and enhance nutritional content, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture and food security. GM technology has led to the development of crops with traits that would be difficult or impossible to achieve through traditional breeding methods.

     

  • Question 3/10
    4 / -1

    Ethanol precipitation without RNase treatment will-

    Solutions

    Ethanol can precipitate both RNA and DNA

     

  • Question 4/10
    4 / -1

    What is the primary function of DNA in organisms?

    Solutions

    DNA serves as the genetic material in most organisms, carrying the instructions needed for an organism's development, functioning, and reproduction. It encodes the information necessary to build and maintain an organism's cells and passes genetic traits to offspring.

     

  • Question 5/10
    4 / -1

    (2) gel electrophoresis -  isolation of DNA

    (3) Emphysema - alpha-1- antitypsin    

    (4) blue white selection -  tetracycline resistance

    Solutions

    alpha-1- antitypsin  Cure Emphysema

     

  • Question 6/10
    4 / -1

    Which of the following is NOT a component of a nucleotide?

    Solutions

    A nucleotide is made up of three components: a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), and a phosphate group. An amino acid is not a part of a nucleotide; it is the building block of proteins.

     

  • Question 7/10
    4 / -1

    Which step involve phosphodiester bond formation in PCR-

  • Question 8/10
    4 / -1

    Who proposed the double helix model of DNA?

    Solutions

    James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the double helix model for the structure of DNA in 1953, based on X-ray diffraction data produced by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, and the base pairing rules observed by Erwin Chargaff.

     

  • Question 9/10
    4 / -1

    In A test tube ‘PCR’ is carried out with primers , if DNA amplication  or PCR cycle require 3 min and we start with single DNA piece than DNA amplification stops after –

    Solutions

    PCR stop when nucleotide or Primer gent finish

     

  • Question 10/10
    4 / -1

    What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

    Solutions

    RNA, particularly messenger RNA (mRNA), functions as a messenger in the process of protein synthesis. It carries the genetic instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where proteins are synthesized.
