CBSE Class XII Biotechnology Sample Paper 2019-20

1. Advantages of Pichia pastoris as a eukaryotic expression host:

(i) Has strong inducible promoters
(ii) Is capable of making post-translational modifications
(iii) Downstream processing is simpler as Pichia does not secrete its own proteins into the fermentation medium.
(Any two of the above advantages)                                                                                                                   1+1

2. Biosynthetic pathway which leads to the production of secondary metabolites are being engineered for their over-production to reduce the cost.                                                                                                                           1
The over expression of the gene which encodes for the first enzyme in the pathway which results in higher levels of desired end products.                                                                                                                                          1

3. Advantages of animal cell culture:

Homogenous genetic population, Controlled physico-chemical environment, Easy to add genes, Available in adequate numbers, Easy production, No ethical clearance required, Cost effective.

(any two of the above points)

Disadvantages of animal cell culture:

small size sensitive to detect the changes, challenging scale up, may not represent in vivo phenotype and genotype. (any two of the above points)
