Question

Which of the following includes genetic engineering?
1. Gene revolution
2. Bloodless revolution
3. Globalisation
4. Green revolution

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Gene revolution

​The correct answer is Gene revolution.

• The gene revolution is the application of biotechnology in food production.
• It is of great potential to farmers as it provides them with disease-free planting material and develops crops that resist pests and diseases, reducing use of chemicals that harm the environment and human health.
• It can provide help control devastating animal diseases.

• Genetic engineering involves the techniques to alter the chemistry of genetic material (DNA and RNA) and thus change the phenotype of the host organism.
• It is the artificial manipulation, modification, and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid molecules to modify an organism or population of organisms.
• It is a term that was first introduced into our languages in the 1970s to explain the emerging field of recombinant DNA technology and some other things that were going on.
• With the help of genetic engineering, scientists are able to move desirable genes from one plant or animal to another or from a plant to an animal or vice versa.
• The process of Genetic engineering consists of splicing an area of a chromosome, gene, that controls a particular characteristic of the body.
