That genetic engineering had the potential to turn evolution upside down and inside out was known to be theoretically possible. No one was prepared for it when it actually happened. When last week a British scientist reproduced a sheep from its mother through genetic cloning, the news was received all around the world with near-disbelief. In India too scientists reacted broadly in the manner of their western counterparts. In the Indian Institute of science at Bangalore where pioneering work on genetic engineering is under way, a senior scientist and chairman of the microbiology department Dr. K.P. Gopinathan described the cloning of "Dolly", the British lamb as a fantastic achievement. But he cautioned that ethical questions would have to be convincingly answered before attempts are made to similarly clone human beings. Dr. Gopinathan himself has achieved considerable success in genetic engineering. His team is credited with having cloned the luminescence gene of the firefly onto a silkworm causing it to glow in the dark. His department is also at present working on a method to cultivate in a silkworm the gene that is responsible for the growth of an individual.
Qs.1/4: Genetic cloning
AHas been accomplished by scientists
BIs yet to be accomplished
CWill soon be possible
DWill always remain an impossible feat

We inhabit a divided world; on one hand the rich are critical of our continuing poverty on the other they warn us against their own methods. We do not wish to impoverish the environment any further and yet we cannot for a moment forget the grim poverty of large number of people. Are not poverty and greed the greatest polluters? For instance,unless we are in a position to provide employment and purchasing power for the daily needs of the tribal people and those who live in or around jungles, we cannot prevent them from combing the forest for food and livelihood, from poaching and from despoiling the vegetation. When they themselves seem deprived how can we urge the preservation of animals? How we speak to those who live in villages and in slums about keeping the oceans, the rivers and the air clean when their own lives are contaminated at the source?The environment cannot be improved in conditions of poverty. Nor can poverty be eradicated without the use of science and technology.
Qs.1/5: Which of the following four statements is true?
AWe live in a united world
BThe rich countries do not criticize us for our poverty
CThe rich countries willingly allow us to use their own methods
