Biotechnology and its Applications — NEET/JEE Questions, Notes & Weightage
Class 12 Biotechnology NEET weightage: High 3,216 questions
Covers applications in agriculture (Bt cotton, GM crops), medicine (recombinant insulin, gene therapy), and biosafety/ethical issues (GEAC, biopiracy). Application-to-organism matching (which GM crop resists what, which hormone is recombinant) is the chapter's primary NEET format.

Frequently asked questions
What Bt crop facts does NEET test most?
How the Bt toxin gene (from Bacillus thuringiensis) confers pest resistance, and which specific protein (e.g. Cry proteins) is involved, is the most frequently asked detail.
Is gene therapy tested with a specific example?
Yes — ADA (adenosine deaminase) deficiency is the textbook example NEET uses for gene therapy, and it has been referenced directly in past papers.
Are regulatory bodies like GEAC asked about?
Occasionally, at a basic awareness level — knowing GEAC's role in approving GM organism use in India is sometimes tested as a standalone fact.
