Card 1Introduction to Biotechnology

What are the three critical research areas of biotechnology?

Answer

The three critical research areas are: providing the best catalyst in the form of an improved organism, usually a microbe or pure enzyme; creating optimal conditions through engineering for the cataly

Card 2जैव प्रौद्योगिकी का परिचय

जैव प्रौद्योगिकी के तीन महत्वपूर्ण अनुसंधान क्षेत्र क्या हैं?

Answer

तीन महत्वपूर्ण अनुसंधान क्षेत्र हैंः एक बेहतर जीव, आमतौर पर एक सूक्ष्मजीव या शुद्ध एंजाइम के रूप में सर्वोत्तम उत्प्रेरक प्रदान करना; उत्प्रेरक के कार्य करने के लिए इंजीनियरिंग के माध्यम से इष्टतम स्थ

Card 3Biotechnology in Agriculture

What are the three options for increasing food production?

Answer

The three options are agro-chemical based agriculture, organic agriculture, and genetically engineered crop-based agriculture. Genetically engineered crops are useful when conventional methods are too

Card 4कृषि में जैव प्रौद्योगिकी

खाद्य उत्पादन बढ़ाने के तीन विकल्प क्या हैं?

Answer

तीन विकल्प हैं कृषि-रसायन आधारित कृषि, जैविक कृषि और आनुवंशिक रूप से निर्मित फसल आधारित कृषि। आनुवंशिक रूप से निर्मित फसलें तब उपयोगी होती हैं जब पारंपरिक तरीके बहुत धीमे या कम प्रभावी होते हैं।

Card 5Plant Tissue Culture

What is an explant in plant tissue culture?

Answer

An explant is any part of a plant taken out and grown in a test tube under sterile conditions in special nutrient media. It is the starting material for tissue culture and plant regeneration.

Card 6पादप ऊतक संवर्धन

पादप ऊतक संवर्धन में एक्सप्लांट क्या होता है?

Answer

एक्सप्लांट (explant) किसी पौधे का कोई भी भाग होता है जिसे निकालकर एक टेस्ट ट्यूब में निर्जंतुकीकृत अवस्था में विशेष पोषक माध्यम में उगाया जाता है। यह ऊतक संवर्धन और पौधे के पुनरुत्पादन के लिए प्रारंभि

Card 7Plant Tissue Culture

Why is micropropagation important in plant biotechnology?

Answer

Micropropagation produces a large number of plants in a very short time. The plants formed are genetically identical to the original plant, so they are called somaclones. This is useful for rapid mult

Card 8पादप ऊतक संवर्धन

पादप जैव प्रौद्योगिकी में सूक्ष्मप्रवर्धन क्यों महत्वपूर्ण है?

Answer

सूक्ष्मप्रवर्धन (Micropropagation) से बहुत कम समय में बड़ी संख्या में पौधे तैयार हो जाते हैं। जो पौधे तैयार होते हैं वे आनुवंशिक रूप से मूल पौधे के समान होते हैं, इसलिए इन्हें सोमाक्लोन (somaclones) क
