Plant tissue culture is based on:
1. | cellular totipotency | 2. | indeterminate growth |
3. | phenotypic plasticity | 4. | secondary growth |
How were nematode-specific genes introduced in tobacco plants?
1. Using page DNA
2. Using a retrovirus
3. By gene gun
4. Using Agrobacterium tumefaciens
ELISA is based on the principle of:
1. Antibody opsonization
2. Antigen-antibody interaction
3. Radioactive immune assay
4. Creation of recombinant DNA
The first clinical gene therapy was done for the treatment of:
1. | AIDS |
2. | Cancer |
3. | Cystic fibrosis |
4. | SCID (Severe Combined Immuno Deficiency) resulting from deficiency of ADA |
GEAC stands for:
1. | Genome Engineering Action Committee |
2. | Ground Environment Action Committee |
3. | Genetic Engineering Approval Committee |

In micro-propagation, to obtain virus free plants, the best explants can be:
1. Embryos
2. Anther
3. Meristem
4. Primary permanent tissues
At present, genetic modification has been able to bring about all the following in crops except:
1. Tolerance to abiotic stresses
2. Enhanced nutritional value
3. Capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen
4. Reduced reliance on chemical pesticides
The viruses generally used for gene therapy are:
