Answer: Process large volumes under controlled conditions.
- A Grow only a few cells at a time
- B Process large volumes under controlled conditions
- C Work without any oxygen supply
- D Avoid the need for any culture medium or nutrients
Correct answer: B. Process large volumes under controlled conditions
Explanation: A bioreactor provides optimal conditions for growth by regulating temperature, pH, oxygen and agitation, allowing large volumes (often 100-1000 litres) to be processed.
Recombinant DNA technology: a gene of interest and plasmid are cut by the same restriction enzyme, ligated into a recombinant plasmid, and introduced into a host cell.
