Biotechnology And Its Applications MCQ Important Questions For NEET – Answer Key
1) D. All of the above
2) C. Convential hybridization not required biotechnology
3) A. No insecticide
4) C. The first genetically modified crop, an antibiotic-resistant tobacco plant, was produced in 1982. China was the first country to commercialize transgenic plants, introducing a virus-resistant tobacco in 1992. It was developed by Michael W. Bevan, Richard B. Flavell and Mary-Dell Chilton by creating a chimeric gene that joined an antibiotic resistant gene to the T1 plasmid from Agrobacterium. The tobacco was infected with Agrobacterium transformed with this plasmid resulting in the chimeric gene being inserted into the plant. Through tissue culture techniques a single tobacco cell was selected that contained the gene and a new plant grown from it.
5) D. Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium of Soil
6) B. Intracellular crystalline protein (produced inside cell as protoxin)
7) A. Bioinsecticidal plants
8) D. Endotoxin biodegradable insecticide
9) B. cry – gene ; Cry – Protein
10) A. Transgenic plant or GMO Plant
11) D. Both b and c
12) A. By binding of activated toxin on mid gut epithelial cells, creating pores, leading to swelling and lysis
13) C. The main types are the Cry (crystal) toxins, encoded by different cry genes, and this is how different types of Bt are classified. The second types are the Cyt (cytolytic) toxins, which can augment the Cry toxins, enhancing the effectiveness of insect control.In the past decades, more than 700 cry gene sequences that code for crystal (Cry) proteins have been identified and large plasmids appear to be the usual location for these genes. While many Cry proteins have useful pesticidal properties and may be exploited for the control of insect pests in agriculture. Bt crystal and secreted soluble toxins are highly specific for their hosts and have gained worldwide importance as an alternative to chemical insecticides. The proteins encoded by the genes crylAc and cryllAb control cotton bollworms in Cotton. Protein encoded by crylAb controls corn borer in Maize.
