Question:
Reason of diversity in living being
Reason of diversity in living being
Updated On: Jul 19, 2024
- Mutation
- Long term evolutionary change
- Gradual change
- Short term evolutionary change
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A mutation is a modification in the DNA sequence, which can bring about alterations in an organism, leading to the emergence of novel traits. Over an extended duration, these mutations accumulate, culminating in lasting modifications within the organism, a phenomenon termed 'evolution.' Consequently, evolution paves the way for the emergence of new species, contributing significantly to the diversity observed among living organisms.
So, the correct option is (B): Long term evolutionary change

Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a vast field of biology that involves the creation, production, and modification of useful products for human welfare using both the technology and the execution of living organisms and their components. An agricultural engineer, Karoly Ereky, coined the word "biotechnology" in 1919, achieving him the title of "Father of Biotechnology."
Principles of Biotechnology:
Among many, the two core techniques that entitled the birth of modern biotechnology are :
- Genetic Engineering is one of the methods of direct modifications of an organism's genome (i.e., DNA and RNA). It requires the introduction of new genes into host species to escalate function or trait, hence altering the host organism's phenotype.
- Bioprocess Engineering is one of the methods of maintaining sterile conditions to facilitate the growth of large quantities of desired microbes and other eukaryotic cells for the development of new or modified biotechnological products such as enzymes, vaccines, antibiotics, and other biotechnological products.
