  1. Microprojectile gun method

  2. Microinjection method

  3. Liposome-mediated gene transfer

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Microprojectile gun method is a device for delivering exogenous DNA to cells. Here, the impregnation of the cells with nucleic acid or with other biological molecules is achieved by coating the molecules that are intended to be introduced in to the cells on to micro carriers which generally is high density tungsten micro particles.
Microinjection is a technique of delivering foreign DNA into a living cell through a glass micropipette.
Liposome-mediated gene transfer is cell-type-specific gene transfer vehicles in vitro and in vivo using liposome.
so, the correct answer is option A.

  1. Rhizobium

  2. Lactobacillus

  3. E. coli

  4. Streptomyces

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a type of bacteria found in your intestines.

 Lactobacilli, particularly L. acidophilus, are often used as probiotics. 
The World Health Organization defines probiotics as "live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host."

  1. Meat

  2. Insulin

  3. Both A and B

  4. Fats

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Animal insulin is derived from cows and pigs. Until the 1980s, animal insulin was the only treatment for insulin dependent diabetes. These days the use of animal insulin has largely been replaced by human insulin and human analogue insulin, however, animal insulin is still available on prescription.

  1. Peptidase

  2. Chymosin

  3. Bovine

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Chymosin, commonly known as rennin, is the principal milk- coagulating enzyme present in rennet. Rennet, which has a long and extensive history of safe use in making cheese and other dairy products.
