Solution
The correct option is B All of the above
Genetic engineering
- Genetic engineering is a process of modifying the genetic material (DNA or RNA) followed by its incorporation into a host organism.
- This is done in order to induce the expression of desired traits in the host.
- It is applied in genetic biodiversity, forensic science, and evolutionary biology.
Forensic science
Forensic science is the study which deals with criminal investigations.
- The most common technique used in forensic science is DNA fingerprinting.
- DNA fingerprinting involves the techniques of genetic engineering such as restriction digestion, isolation of DNA, agarose gel electrophoresis etc.
Genetic biodiversity
Genetic biodiversity refers to all the genes present of different species found in an ecosystem.
Evolutionary biology
- Evolutionary biology is the study of the evolution of life forms on Earth.
- For studying evolutionary biology, genetic engineering techniques such as Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, Short Sequence Repeats are used.
Final answer:
(d) All of the above
