A person born with hereditary disease can be treated by

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Hereditary diseases are due to defects in gene. Gene can be corrected at embryonic stage by gene therapy technique in which genes are inserted into person cells or tissue to take over the function of defective gene.

Topic in NCERT: Gene therapy

Line in NCERT: "gene therapy is the insertion of genes into an individual's cells and tissues to treat diseases especially hereditary diseases."

Test: Biotechnology & its Applications- 2 - Question 7

The two polypeptide chains in insulin are linked via Sulphur. The bond formed is

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Two peptide chains A and B in insulin are linked via sulphur to form a disulphide linkage or disulphide bridge.

Topic in NCERT: Genetically engineered insulin

Line in NCERT: "chains a and b were produced separately, extracted and combined by creating disulfide bonds to form human insulin."

Test: Biotechnology & its Applications- 2 - Question 8

A radioactively labeled Probe can be detected by

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Radioactively labeled probe can be detected by autoradiography. A single stranded DNA or RNA tagged with a radioactive molecule is allowed to hybridise to its complementary DNA in a clone of cells followed by detecting using autoradiography.

Topic in NCERT: Molecular diagnosis

Line in NCERT: "a single stranded dna or rna, tagged with a radioactive molecule (probe) is allowed to hybridise to its complementary dna in a clone of cells followed by detection using autoradiography."

Test: Biotechnology & its Applications- 2 - Question 9

Mature insulin is different from pro-insulin in

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Pro-insulin differ from mature insulin as pro-insulin contain C-peptide which is absent in mature insulin.

Topic in NCERT: Genetically engineered insulin

Line in NCERT: "this c peptide is not present in the mature insulin and is removed during maturation into insulin."

Assertion: For toxicity testing, transgenic animals are made to carry genes which make them more sensitive to toxic substance.

Reason: Transgenic animals are exposed to toxic substance to be study to know their effect.

Detailed Solution: Question 12

Transgenic animals are used to study the toxicity effects of certain chemical in which animals are made to carry gene which make them more sensitive to toxic substance and exposed to toxic substance to be studied.

Topic in NCERT: Transgenic animals

Line in NCERT: "transgenic animals are made that carry genes which make them more sensitive to toxic substances than non-transgenic animals. they are then exposed to the toxic substances and the effects studied."
