Worked practice questions

Which enzyme is used to open plant cells before DNA isolation?

  1. Protease
  2. Cellulase
  3. Lysozyme
  4. Chitinase
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Cellulase

1. The wall must be digested to release the DNA. 2. Plant walls are built of cellulose. 3. Cellulase is therefore the enzyme used. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 9 'Biotechnology : Principles and Processes'_

Purified DNA finally precipitates out on adding chilled:

  1. Benzene
  2. Toluene
  3. Ethanol
  4. Acetone
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Ethanol

1. Proteins and RNA are stripped away first. 2. Chilled ethanol is then poured over the extract. 3. DNA appears as fine threads in the suspension. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 9 'Biotechnology : Principles and Processes'_

Separation and purification of the final product is called:

  1. Bioprocess engineering
  2. Insertional inactivation
  3. Continuous culturing
  4. Downstream processing
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Downstream processing

1. The biosynthetic stage only makes the product. 2. It still has to be separated and purified. 3. These steps together are downstream processing. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 9 'Biotechnology : Principles and Processes'_
