Question

First technique and product produced by biotechnology are:

• A. PCR and detection of disease
• B. ELISA and detection of AIDS
• C. PCR and medicines
• D. Fermentation and Ethanol

Answer 1

The correct option is D Fermentation and Ethanol

Biotechnology is the use of an organism, or a component of an organism or other biological system, to make a product or process for a specific use. The first use of biotechnology is the process of fermentation - to convert food into another form. The majority (90-95%) of the percentage of ethanol that is produced globally derives from biological fermentation technology (bioethanol), whereas the rest is produced using ethane (coming from cracking of crude oil and/or natural gas) using steam and phosphoric acid as catalyst (synthetic ethanol).
So, the correct option is option D.
