These days there are lot of opportunities coming up in Bio-Technology sector, as this is a booming industry.

there is huge competition in this field. Here are the few possible interview questions and answers that can help any candidate who are looking for a good career in Bio-Technology. Biotechnology Interview Questions and Answers: What do you understand by the term Bio-Technology? Bio-Technology is a process where a team of scientist researched and worked together and uses this method to enhance the nutrition level of the food, good production of the food, safety and to retain the taste of the food. In this methodology, they use fewer pesticides and improve crops. What does GMO stands for and what importance does it has in bio-technology field? This is more of a technical question, applicant should have studied well in this field to answer this question, GMO means genetically modified organism where in two different genetics and molecule is used and combined to create one new genetic organism. This is usually done by using genetic engineering techniques. What are the problems we could face by using this genetic engineering tools? By using genetic engineering tools, all the plants and crops are exposed to too many pesticides and herbicides, they are over used to maintain it fresh and to retain the taste of the food. Traditionally farmers avoid using so many pesticides for crops, they use them liberally. What are the different types of bio technology? Explain. The different types of bio technology are: Red bio-technology, White bio-technology and Green bio- technology. Red Bio Technology is usually used in medical devices like antibiotics. Green Bio Technology is used in agricultural process to grow crops more environmental friendly. White Bio Technology is used mostly in industrial process like using a chemical reaction designing an organism. What is (LMO) Living Modified Organism?

Living Modified Organism means any living organism which contains genetical material in it by using modern bio technology. It could be sterile, injections or virus. Usually in Bio-Technology interviews, applicants will be asked to handle a seminar about their main scientific subject. In this scenario, applicant should check before with the HR as to who will be the audience and what the exact skill sets are they are looking for to fill this position. This will help the applicant do a research on it before hand and can get fully prepared for a seminar. The applicant should make sure that the presentation is well prepared, executed and tailored to audience. Make sure, you give them good introduction about your subject but talk in brief and do not go in detail. Talk more about their company and business press. Find out if they have any competitors and do research on them. You could talk about adopting their style of working for any improvement in this company. In todays world, which industry can use Bio-Technology methods?
In todays market, bio-technology is majorly used in four types of industries: Crop, Production and Agriculture Health care products Environmental uses Non food use of plants, before consuming

What would be your role in the organization for being a part of bio-technology team? As a member of bio-technology team, its my responsibility to go to the lab and do a surprise check on the samples produced, keep updating myself from the company presentations and websiteson the other streams or new products coming up in new pharmacy industries. Pro-actively communicate with the operations team on the ongoing experiments in the industry. What are the challenges you face being in this industry and how do you overcome it? The future of life science is changing; the companies need to come creatively each time and try new research on different products genetically and to retain its essence and source of it. Researching on different products in the market, and researching the scientific methods used for it would help us in updating ourselves and facing the new challenges of this biotechnology industry. What do you mean by bio ethics? Bio ethics is the combination of analysis of social, political, ethical and environmental consequences and implications of bio technology and bio medicine products.

What are the possible dangers that bio technology and bio medicine faces on the advanced scientific methods of food products? Applicant should be very confident in his answer as this is a very tricky question, he/she should answer that any technology or advancement has its own advantages and dis advantages, it is just the way the technology is adapted and used in the process. Yes, of course there is a certain degree of risk involved, but we have to deal with it being in this scientific bio technology industry. As any industry will face this quality or failure problem. What do you think could be the points of conflict in terms of bio ethics? Well, I think there will be problem with peoples interest with respect to abortion, genetic advances, right to privacy, rights of a child, capacity to make personal decision in their food habits as there will be question raised for genetically injected or used products with these bio-technology methods. I think we should continue to convince people by explaining the scientific approach in the interest of retaining the good products in future and maintaining a better environment. Is body itself a bio technology? Yes, it has to be articulated as a technology. But not by nature, once its articulated or framed in such a way, then definitely its a technology. Anything which is re-framed from a naturally occurring bio logical process is called bio technology. What do you mean by bio-media? Its a concept which means to describe the informatic reframing or biological components and its methods and processes. Its all about the process of identifying biologically and looking through the lens of informatic. How is this bio technology useful in our day to day life? Bio technology is used to help in solving the problem faced in our daily products. Yogurt, wine, cheese, and antibiotics these are all not new for human beings. This method of bio technology promises a better way of retaining the essence and preventing disease.

What is biotechnology? Give examples of application of biotech for welfare of mankind. What is cloning? Is cloning ethical? Name some cloned animals. What is a stem cell? What are the applications of stem cell technology? Can you name an Indian corporate group that is into stem cell research?

Why does a cell multiply? What are bacteria? What are fungi? What is the difference between fungi and bacteria? What is a virus? Why is virus non-living? What is the difference between bacteria and virus? What are the major biotech companies in India? What is the use of biotech in agriculture and dairy industries? What is a protein? Is nucleic acid a protein? What is a gene? Who coined the term 'gene'? What is gene amplification? What is gene bank? What is gene pool? What is DNA? What is DNA made of? What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA? What is RNA? How does DNA duplicate itself? What is a DNA chip? What is terminator gene technology? What is a chromosome? What do you know about the Human Genome Project? What are the applications of Human Genome in pharmaceuticals? What is genetic engineering? What is hybridisation? What is the difference between genetic engineering and hybridisation? What are amino acids? What is the difference between physical chemistry and organic chemistry? Name some inheritance diseases. Is haemophilia an inheritance disease? What is the contribution of Watson and Crick? What is mitosis? What is meiosis?
