How would you define fermentation with reference to biotechnology?
Answer: 3
3-30
In biotechnology fermentation means the production of any product by the mass culture of micro organisms is called fermentation.
Question: 4
What is transgenic organism ?
Answer: 4

The organisms which have modified genetic step-up are called transgenic organisms . These organisms have derived characteristics
Question: 5
What is genetic engineering?
Answer: 5
5-30
Genetic engineering i.e. the artificial synthesis, modification, removal, addition and repair of the genetic material are considered as modern biotechnology. It is done to alter the characteristics of organisms.

Define fermentation in terms of biotechnology
Answer: 6
6-30
In biotechnology the term 'fermentation means the production of any product by the mass of culture of micro organism
Question: 7
Give three objects of genetic engineering.
Answer: 7
7-30
i. Production of particular RNA and protein molecules.
ii. production of varieties of plants having particular desirable
characteristics.
iii. Treatment of genetic defects in higher organisms.
Question: 8
How Insulin is synthesized commercially?
Answer: 8
8-30
Human insulin gene was transferred into bacteria.The genetically modified bacteria became able to synthesize insulin. Diabetics are now receiving this insulin.
Question: 9
In biotechnology , What is meant by genetically modified organism .(GNO) How is it made ?
Answer: 9
9-30
GMO are provided suitable culture medium for growth to give as much copies of the genes of interest as needed
Question: 10
Define biotechnology ?
Answer: 10
10-30
Biotechnology is defines as the use of living organisms in processes for the manufacture of useful products or for services . Although the term biotechnology is new , the discipline itself is very old . Fermentation and other such processes , which are based on the natural capabilities of organisms , are commonly considered as old biotechnology
Question: 11
Define biotechnology .
Answer: 11
11-30
The branch of biology which deals with study of use of living organisms in processes for manufacture of useful products or for service
Fermentation is the old biotechnology and genetic engineering in modern biotechnology
Question: 12
What is carbohydrates fermentation?
Answer: 12
12-30
The initial steps of carbohydrate fermentation are identical to those of respiration.The process begins with glycolysis, in which the glucose, molecule is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid.
Question: 13
Give three objectives of genetic engineering ?
Answer: 13
13-30
The important objectives of genetic engineering are as follows
1: Production of particular RNA and protein molecules
2: Production of various of plants having particular desirable characteristics
3: Treatment of genetic defects in higher organisms
Question: 14
What is fermentation?
Answer: 14
14-30
Fermentation is the process in which there is incomplete oxidation reduction of glucose fermentation has been in the knowledge of mansicne centuries, but it was believed that it is purely a chemical process.
Question: 15
Define transgenic organism .
Answer: 15
15-30
Transgenic organisms with modified genetic set-up are called transgenic , organisms
Question: 16
Name any two industrial products made by fermentation.
