Question

The transgenic plant can be used as ............ for pharmaceuticals.

• A. Bioreactor
• B. Fermentor
• C. Plasmid
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bioreactor

A bioreactor is a vessel in which raw materials are converted into products, using microbial, plant, animal or human cells. The plants which are modified genetically are referred to as the transgenic plants. The transgenic plants contain the gene for the production of antibiotics, vaccines and other pharmaceuticals. The transgenic plant can be used for the production of the recombinant products in large amounts. So, they are considered as the bioreactors for therapeutics and pharmaceuticals.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
