7. The recombinant therapeutics are identical to human proteins.

8. If we are not vigilant, and we do not immediately counter patent applications like turmeric, other countries/individuals may not encash on our rich legacy, and we may not be able to do anything about it.

9. Bioreactor don’t have foam control system.

10. Use of insulin from pigs may elicit an immune response.

11. Physics and chemistry gave rise to engineering, technologies and industries which all worked for human comfort and welfare.

12. Bioreactors can be thought of as vessels in which raw materials are physically converted into specific products, individual enzymes, etc., using plant, animal, microbial or human cell.

13. Management of adult-onset diabetes is possible by taking insulin at regular time intervals.

14. α-1-antitrypsin used to treat cystic fibrosis.

15. A conventional strategy was adopted to prevent nematode infestation which was based on the process of RNA interference (RNAi).

16. Genetically Modified Organisms have been created by using methods other than natural methods to transfer one or more genes from one organism to another using rDNA techniques.

17. Human insulin is made in bacteria, yet its structure is absolutely identical to that of the natural molecule.

18. RNAi involves silencing of all rRNA due to a complementary dsDNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing).

19. Providing the best catalyst in the form of improved organism usually a microbe or pure enzyme is a critical research area of biotechnology.

20. If we are not vigilant, and we do not immediately counter patent applications like Basmati, other countries/individuals may encash on our rich legacy, and we may not be able to do anything about it.

21. The normal E. coli cells do not carry resistance against tetracycline.

22. There is reference to Basmati in ancient texts, folklore, and poetry, as it has been grown for centuries.

23. Insulin from an animal source (pig) results in all patients developing an allergy in all patients.

24. At present, about 12 recombinant therapeutics have been approved for human use the world over.

25. A novel strategy was adopted to prevent nematode infestation which was based on the process of RNA interference (RNAi).

26. RNAi involves silencing of all mRNA due to a complementary dsDNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing).

27. Transgenic animals can be used for chemical safety testing.

28. Management of adult-onset diabetes is possible by taking insulin at random intervals.

29. A bio reactor provides optimum substrate concentration to cultivate human cell for achieving the desired recombinant products.

30. GM plants have been useful in increasing crop yields, reduce post-harvest losses and make crops more tolerant of stresses.

31. The biological world’s primary value has been seen as a food source.

32. A bio reactor provides required amount of vitamins to cultivate bacterial cell for achieving the desired recombinant products.

33. Genetically modified mice are being developed for use in testing the safety of vaccines before they are used on humans.

34. Management of adult-onset diabetes is impossible by taking insulin at regular time intervals.

35. The genetic basis of human diseases like Alzheimer’s can be studies efficiently.

36. Bioreactor has temperature control system.

37. Making curd, in generous, could also be thought as a form of biotechnology.

38. Biotechnology deals with large scale production and marketing of products and processes using dead organisms, cells or enzymes.

39. Hind II recognises a specific six-base-pair palindrome sequence and mostly cuts DNA molecules at a defined point.

40. DNAi takes place in all viruses as a method of cellular defence.

41. Biotechnology has given to humans several useful products by using animals and their metabolic machinery.

42. By recognising a specific six-base-pair palindrome sequence, Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a fixed point.

43. Correcting a defective gene, is a part of biotechnology.

44. Insulin from a cattle or pig, results in all patients to develop allergy or other types of reactions to the self insulin protein.

45. Plasmids are small ringlets of DNA.

46. Biotechnology has given to humans several useful products by using microbes, plant, animals, and their metabolic machinery.

47. A bio reactor provides optimum salt concentration to cultivate fungal cell for achieving the desired recombinant products.

48. Rosie produced 2.4 grams protein per litre of milk.

49. The modification/usage of living organisms for public services (as food and medicine sources, for example) has also created problems with patents granted for the same.

50. GEAC stands for Genetic Engineering Approval Committee.
