Question : Assertion : Biotechnology produces transgenic microorganism that function as microfactories for proteins Reason : Transgenic microorganisms can be developed to produce proteins of human use like insulin.

Answer»

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false

Solution :Transgenic microoganisms can be DEVELOPED by inserting genes encoding for desired PROTEIN products using recombinant DNA technology. These transgenic organisms recombinant DNA technology. These transgenic organisms function as living MICROFACTORIES that produce proteinslike HUMAN insulin, human growth hormone etc. Production of proteins from such organisms is easier, more efficient and cost effective.
