Question

Three critical research areas of biotechnology are.

(1) Providing the best catalyst in the form of the improved organisms usually a microbe or pure enzyme.
(2) Multiple Ovulation Transfer Technology (MOET).
(3) Create optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act.
(4) Downstream processing technologies.

• A. (1), (2), (3) and (4)
• B. (1), (3) and (4)
• C. (1) and (2)
• D. (2) and (4)

Answer 1

The correct option is B (1), (3) and (4)

Three of the most critical research areas of biotechnology are providing the best catalyst in the form of an improved organism, usually in the form of a microbe or pure enzyme, creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to function, and downstream processing technologies to purify the protein/organic compound. Multiple Ovulation transfer technology (MOET) is a technique to increase the reproductive rate of organisms and is not a critical area of biotechnology. So the correct option is '(1),(3) and (4)'.
