Name the genes introduced from bacteria into transgenic sheep that increase wool production and improve the quality of wool.

Which proteins increase milk production in transgenic cattle?

Improvement in food production: Which are the two basic techniques that help us to increase food production?

What are transgenic plants ? Enlist the improved qualities of the Flavr Savr variety of tomato.

To produce Bt cotton, the gene responsible for toxin production is isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis and integrated with the gene of the cotton plant.

Diseases in humans can be prevented by administration of vaccines. Vaccines contain inactivated, killed / weakened pathogens that can be used as antigens to provide either permanent or temporary immunity against a specific pathogen or disease. Conventional methods of vaccine preparation include the use of completely or partially killed pathogens. These vaccines however posed a risk of causing disease in case of some persons. Biotechnological techniques provide alternative antigenic genes isolated in the laboratory that can be used to make pure forms of proteins that can be used as antigens to activate the immune system. Recent developments in this field include production of edible vaccines like transgenic potatoes. Consumption of raw potatoes is speculated to develop immunity against the pathogen. These edible vaccines are produced by inserting genes isolated from specific pathogens to produce the antigen in the plants. Based on the given paragraph answer the following questions. What is the main advantage of vaccines over antibiotics?

Name the following: Curd like food product made from sheep milk,

Name the product formed in reaction between coal (carbon) and oxygen (from air)

Medicines are either man made (i.e.,synthetic) or obtained from living organisms like plants, bacteria, animals etc. and hence the latter are called natural products. Sometimes natural products are chemically altered by man to reduce toxicity or side effects. Write against each of the following whether they were initially obtained as a natural product or as a synthetic chemical. Penicillin______________.
