Biotechnological Production of Vaccines starts at 11 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Biotechnological Production of Vaccines.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe how biotechnology has improved the safety of vaccines.
Describe one limitation of using bacteria as hosts for recombinant vaccine production.
Describe the basic steps involved in producing a recombinant protein vaccine.
Describe the difference between a live attenuated vaccine and a recombinant subunit vaccine.
Explain the importance of purification in the production of recombinant vaccines.
Explain the main advantage of using recombinant vaccines over traditional vaccines.
Explain the term 'subunit vaccine' and give an example.
Explain why cold chain maintenance is important for some biotechnological vaccines.
Explain why recombinant vaccines are considered safer than live attenuated vaccines.
Name one plant that has been genetically engineered to produce edible vaccines.
State one reason why yeast is often used as a host for vaccine production.
What is the main function of an antigen in a vaccine?
What is the purpose of using a promoter in the genetic construct for vaccine antigen production?
What is the role of adjuvants in vaccines?
A biotechnology company is developing a recombinant vaccine using insect cell cultures. Explain one advantage and one disadvantage of using insect cells over bacterial cells for vaccine antigen production.
A new recombinant protein vaccine is being developed for a rapidly mutating virus. What biotechnological strategy can be used to ensure the vaccine remains effective against new viral strains?
Compare and contrast the mechanisms by which mRNA vaccines and viral vector vaccines stimulate an immune response in the body.
Describe the role of codon optimization in the biotechnological production of vaccine antigens.
Explain why the use of animal cell cultures in vaccine production can reduce the risk of contamination with human pathogens compared to using human cell lines.
