- Micropropagation produces somaclones, which are genetically identical plants.
- Meristem culture can produce virus-free plants.
- Recombinant therapeutics are safer and more effective than non-human products.
- Insulin is made of A and B chains linked by disulphide bridges.
- Pro-insulin contains a C peptide that is removed during maturation.
- Most transgenic animals are mice.
- Transgenic animals help study physiology and disease.
- They can produce useful biological products.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Bt toxin kills the Bt bacterium itself, so the bacterium must be naturally resistant to its own toxin.
All Bt genes work against the same insect pest in all crops.
RNA interference destroys the nematode directly.
