This section uses case studies and real-world scenarios to apply concepts of PCR, cloning, and recombinant DNA technology in analytical and practical contexts. It is designed for Class 11–12 students, NEET aspirants, and undergraduate learners to strengthen conceptual application and higher-order thinking skills.
In this section, you will study:
Case studies on PCR-based disease diagnosis and genetic testing
Scenarios involving cloning and expression of therapeutic proteins
Analysis of recombinant DNA techniques used in insulin and vaccine production
Case-based problems on selection and screening of recombinants
Situational studies on genetically modified organisms and biosafety
Interpretation of experimental workflows, data, and results
NCERT-based case studies and exam-oriented questions
The content is structured to improve analytical reasoning, enhance concept application, and prepare students for case-based and higher-order questions in school examinations, NEET, and undergraduate assessments.
Develop the ability to analyze real-world biotechnology applications by applying PCR, cloning, and recombinant DNA concepts with clarity and precision.
Q. In the context of gene expression, what is the role of mRNA?
A.
To store genetic information
B.
To transport amino acids
C.
To carry the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes
D.
To catalyze biochemical reactions
Solution
mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized.
Correct Answer:
C
— To carry the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes
