Hello students.
00:01
Now in this question they have asked which of these four options is an example of a transgenic organism that is helping in the bioremediation process.
00:11
Now what is bioremediation? bio -remediation is basically a remediation technique that is used via the biological means.
00:23
Right.
00:24
So basically let us take the gambusia fish.
00:29
This gambusia.
00:30
Fish that you observe is basically the one that is helping in the treatment of the mosquitoes, right? so we will observe that the mosquito larvae that is present, that is what this gambusia is going to feed on.
00:45
So these are one of the biological techniques that is going to help in the reduction of the mosquito larvae.
00:52
But if we observe with respect to bioremediation, basically there is biological organisms that are used.
01:00
To help in maybe the soil fertility, to increase the soil fertility, they, you know, take different organisms, different microorganisms, or maybe to, you know, better the water bodies, right? so that there is more pure water bodies compared to the plastic filled water bodies that are present.
01:23
So maybe they use some biological means to solve this problem rather than using the chemical means right so here if we observe the first option fish that is infused with a gene from another fish species that accelerate growth rate now what is it doing here it is accelerating the growth rate nothing else it's doing it just accelerates the growth rate that is what this gene is going to do is this going to help with bioremediation no so the first answer is definitely wrong coming to the second option.

A plant infused with bacterial gene for a protein to break down the environmental toxin mercury.

Now is this bioremediation? yes...
