  4. Bio-mineralization
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Nanotechnology is the science and technology of building electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology is used to describe many types of research where the characteristic dimensions are less than about 1,000 nanometers. Nanotechnology deals with the molecular make-up and organization of structures. By building materials from the nano-scale up, nanotechnology is able to project the unusual material functionality found at the nanoscale to a useful, applicable measure. Nanotechnology provides new and improved methods for making almost every manufactured products - better transportation, faster computers, energy developments and medical breakthroughs.

The science of biotechnology has contributed to field of

  1. Health

  2. Pharmacy

  3. Agriculture and industry

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Biotechnology is the branch of science which deals with the application of biological techniques for human welfare. It involves the modification of genes by the enzymatic action which leads to the production of some biological entity like antibodies, vaccines etc which benefits the mankind by improving health. The vaccines, antibodies, hormones, etc are the pharmaceutical products which help to prevent the transmission of diseases. The plants and the organisms can be genetically modified. The modified plants are resistant to the pests and diseases. The modified organisms can be useful in the production of useful products in the industry.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

The proper definition of biotechnology is

  1. Use of living organisms and of substances obtained from them in industry

  2. Technology used to improve species of animals

  3. Modern technology used in biological laboratories

  4. Advanced technology used in biological warfare
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Biotechnology is the broad area of biology involving living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art. 2). Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of molecular biology, bio-engineering, biomedical engineering, biomanufacturing, molecular engineering, etc. For thousands of years, humankind has used biotechnology in agriculture, food production, and medicine. The term is largely believed to have been coined in 1919 by Hungarian engineer Károly Ereky. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, biotechnology has expanded to include new and diverse sciences such as genomics, recombinant gene techniques, applied immunology, and development of pharmaceutical therapies and diagnostic tests. 
So the correct option is 'use of living organisms and of substances obtained from them in industry'.

Use of biotechnology for medicinal purposes including production of antibiotics and cures through genomic manipulation is called?

  1. Green biotechnology

  2. Blue biotechnology

  3. Red biotechnology

  4. Grey biotechnology
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Red biotechnology(Bio-pharmaceutical) is a process that utilizes organisms to improve health care and help the body to fight diseases. It is a branch of modern biotechnology which is utilized in the field of medicine. Red biotechnology is not only limited to the pharmaceutical industry but also to the medical sector as it facilitates the alleviation of human suffering and enhances the quality of life. It has become tremendous use in clinical research and trials, gene therapy and in diagnostic of the gene. Genetic engineering, production, and development of various medicines to treat different life-threatening diseases, which is a part of the benefits of red biotechnology. Some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures through genomic manipulation.

So, the correct option is 'Red biotechnology'.

The genes for antibiotic resistance are found in

  1. Chromosome

  2. Nucleus

  3. Cell wall

  4. Plasmid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Antibiotic resistance plasmids are bacterial extrachromosomal elements that carry genes conferring resistance to one or more antibiotics. Resistance genes are commonly found on plasmids, which are small extrachromosomal elements commonly found in bacteria. Plasmids are commonly able to move from one bacterial cell to another by a mechanism known as conjugation, which involves cell‐to‐cell contact followed by transfer of a copy of plasmid DNA from a donor to a recipient. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
