Golden rice is a genetically modified crop plant where the incorporated gene is meant for the biosynthesis of:
1. | Vitamin-B | 2. | Vitamin-C |
3. | Omega 3 | 4. | Vitamin-A |
Consumption of which one of the following foods can prevent the kind of blindness associated with vitamin-A deficiency?
1. | Flaver savr tomato | 2. | Canolla |
3. | Golden rice | 4. | Bt-brinjal |
Golden rice is a promising transgenic crop. When released for cultivation, it will help in:
1. alleviation of vitamin-A deficiency
2. pest resistance
3. herbicide tolerance
4. producing a petrol-like fuel from rice
Microbes found to be very useful in genetic engineering are:
1. Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefaciens
2. Vibrio cholerae and a tailed bacteriophage
3. Diplococcus sp. and Pseudomonas sp.
4. Crown gall bacterium and caenorhabditis elegans
