Biotechnology And Its Applications Question 1
Question: Which one of the following techniques does not serve the purpose of early diagnosis of a disease for its early treatment?
(1) Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) technique
(2) Recombinant DNA Technology
(3) Serum and Urine analysis
(4) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique
Show Answer
Answer: (2) Recombinant DNA Technology
Explanation-
Recombinant DNA technology is primarily used for genetic engineering, including the creation of genetically modified organisms, gene therapy, and the production of pharmaceuticals. While it has applications in research and development of diagnostic tools, it is not directly used for the early diagnosis of diseases in the same way that ELISA, serum and urine analysis, and PCR are.
