What is Biotechnology?

• It is science's answers to problems that affect humanity

• It is a branch of science that deals with distinguishing living organisms.

• Biotechnology is a branch of science that applies the concepts of modern genetic engineering to generate new products in agriculture, industrial processes or medicine.

• Biotechnology is a branch of science that applies the concepts of modern genetic engineering to the generation of new living things.

What are transgenics?

• They are organisms structurally modified to meet nature's needs

• Transgenic is a synonym for the expression "Genetically Modified Organism" (GMO). It is an organism that received a gene from another donor organism.

• It is a genetically modified microorganism that received a bingo card and gained an extra chromosome.

• None of the alternatives.

Are biotechnology and genetic engineering the same thing?

• Yes

• No

Through genetic manipulation, genes from the Brazil nut can be inserted into soy seeds, making them more nutritious. This scientific procedure causes the manipulated soybean to be classified as a vegetable:

• cloned.

• mutant.

• transgenic.

• heterozygous.

• replicated.

One of the greatest conquests of science in the second half of the 20th century was the possibility of altering the physical or even behavioral characteristics of living beings, through intervention in their genetic heritage.

Regardless of the opinions, the organisms thus obtained have, in the current scientific nomenclature, the denomination of:

• transgenic.

• translocated.

• mutants.

• recombinant.

Transgenic corn is produced from the manipulation of the original corn, with the transfer to it of a gene of interest taken from another organism of a different species. The characteristic of interest will be manifested as a result

• the increment of DNA from the duplication of the transferred gene.

• the transcription of RNA transporter from the transferred gene.

• the expression of proteins synthesized from the non hybridized DNA.

• the synthesis of carbohydrates from the activation of the DNA of the original maize.

• of the translation of the synthesized messenger RNA from the recombinant DNA.

Are there already GM (genetically modified) products approved for commercial cultivation in Brazil?

• Yes

• No

What is the meaning of the word BIOTECHNOLOGY?

• Study of life

• Study of life and knowledge

• Study of practice

• Study of life, knowledge and the use of science practice

• None of the alternatives

In an experimental genetics laboratory, it was observed that a certain bacterium contained a gene that conferred resistance to specific plant pests. In view of this, the researchers proceeded as shown in the figure.

From the biotechnological point of view, how is the plant represented in the picture classified?

• Clone

• Hybrid

• Mutant

• Adapted

• Transgenic

In the manufacture of bread, for example, single-celled fungi are used, called yeast, which are marketed as biological yeast. They are used to promote the growth of the dough, making it light and fluffy. The growth of bread dough by this process is the result of:

• Release of carbon dioxide gas

• Formation of lactic acid

• Formation of water

• ATP production

• Heat release
