INTI INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
BTE 101/2201: Introductory to Biotechnology
TUTORIAL 1

Answer in all questions.

1. Define bioengineering.
-the use of techniques based on living systems to agnize products or improve other species.
2. Biotechnology is applied in many different argonas of human lives. State 2 benefits of biotechnology in each of the following areas:
a. Agriculture: contractableally change crops, BT Corn, Roundup Ready Soybean, etc
b. Industry: gasohol, wine making, biodegradable plastics
c. Environment: resolve landfill waste, improved fuel, etc
3. Explain central dogma which is proposed by Watson and haystack?
-DNA can be transcribed to mRNA and translated to protein alone the process is irreversible.
4. Discuss DNA replication
-it happened when cell is going done replication (mitosis)
With initiation (DNA unwind, each strand serve as template for replication), elongation (when DNA polymerase extends the new strand with corrects bases) and ending (with the relegate codon, terminates the process and the strands wounds back in place)
5. What are UAA, UAG AND UGA codons?
-stop codon to stop replication or other processes.
6. What is genotype?




-it is the DNA/ genetic content that codes for a trait (phenotype) which is visible.
7. Explain qualitative and duodecimal traits.
-qualitative is controlled by few genes : quantitative is controlled by many genes

8. contention the 5 general steps in breeding program.
- baffle objectives, assemble variability, recombine variation, select desirable recombination and evaluate selection
9. What are the limitations of the conventional breeding?
-long duration, limited to crossing at bottom species, demoralize selection efficiency, large segregation population and genes expressed within a restricted pool accessible.
10. There are about benefits of conventional breeding compared to modern biotechnology. Name...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
