Biotechnology - Principles and Processes

This MCQ is based on Biotechnology - Principles and Processes(The major utility of the biological world is as a source of food. Biotechnology, the twentieth-century off-shoot of modern biology, changed our daily life as its products brought qualitative improvement in health and food production. The basic principles underlying biotechnological processes and some applications).
