NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 10 Biotechnology and its Applications Test Mock Test
This free online test covers Chapter 10, Biotechnology and its Applications, from the NCERT Class 12 Biology textbook. The 33 questions are written directly from the chapter — definitions, processes, worked examples and the points the book italicises — so a score here tells you how much of the chapter actually stuck, not how well you guess. Each answer carries an explanation that says why the right option is right and why the other three fail, which is where most of the learning happens. Attempt it after your first read of the chapter, then again before the exam. There is no negative marking, and you can review the full solution the moment you submit.

Sample Questions
Q1.The three critical research areas of biotechnology listed at the start of the chapter are:
- AProviding the best catalyst as an improved organism or pure enzyme, creating optimal conditions for that catalyst to act, and downstream processing to purify the product
- BTissue culture, somatic hybridisation and micro-propagation
- CGene therapy, molecular diagnosis and transgenic animals
- DTherapeutics, diagnostics and bioremediation
Q2.The capacity to generate a whole plant from any cell or explant is called:
- ARNA interference
- BSomatic hybridisation
- CMicro-propagation
- DTotipotency
Q3.The nutrient medium used for growing an explant in vitro must provide:
- AA source of nitrogen-fixing bacteria to supply the plant with nitrogen
- BA carbon source such as sucrose along with inorganic salts, vitamins, amino acids and growth regulators like auxins and cytokinins
- COnly inorganic salts and water, since the explant photosynthesises for itself
- DBt toxin to keep the culture free of insect pests
