Eukaryotic expression systems are being used to obtain
1. Vaccines
2. Interferons
3. Insulin
4. Somatotropin
The first genetically engineered crop to be granted a license for human consumption was Flavr Savr Tomato. It is a variety of tomato in which a gene for Antisense RNA was introduced to inhibit the formation of the enzyme polygalacturonase. This enzyme acts on
1. Cellulose
2. Pectin
3. Chtin
4. Callose
Mustard usually has a high erucic acid content of over 40%. Erucic acid is a 22C monounsaturated fatty acid that may pose a health risk. Low erucic transgenic mustard has been developed by blocking the expression of the gene Fatty Acid Elongation 1 (FAE 1). The technique used is likely
1. Antisense RNA technology
2. Interference RNA technology
3. Restriction modification
4. Sense RNA technology
Interference RNA carries out suppression of gene expression at the level of
1. Transcription of mRNA
2. Post transcriptional modifications
3. Transport of mRNA
4. Translation of mRNA
ELISA is not for the detection and quantification of
1. Glycoproteins
2. Antibodies
3. Antigens
4. DNA

2. One heavier DNA band, and Two lighter DNA bands
3. One lighter DNA band and Two heavier DNA bands
4. Two heavier DNA bands and One lighter DNA band
