Biochemical Miscellaneous

Direction: Absence of cellulosic cell wall, high β-carotene content and GRAS status make Dunaliella salina a good model system for producing edible vaccines. 109 Cells of D. salina were electroporated with a high expression DNA vector containing an antigenic gene. ​

  1. If 103 cells survived after electroporation, how many cells were killed during this process (round of to the nearest number) ?
    1. 109
    2. 108
    3. 106
    4. 105
Correct Option: A

Number of cell died ​​​= Total cell – Number of cell survived ​​​
= 109 – 103 ​​​
= 9.9 × 108 ​​​= 109
