NEETZoologyBiotechnology - Principles and Processes
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: In a genetic engineering process, it is necessary to prepare sterile ambience. Reason: Sterile ambience inhibits the growth of undesirable microbes during manufacture of product.
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer
A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
Step-by-step solution
Bioprocess engineering: Maintenance of sterile (microbial contamination-free) ambience in chemical engineering processes to enable growth of only the desired microbe/eukaryotic cell in large quantities for the manufacture of biotechnological products like antibiotics, vaccines, enzymes, etc.
