112 TOP Bio-technology Interview Questions and Answers

Latest Bio-technology Interview Questions and Answers for pdf free download

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 websites…on 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.

7. 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 bio-technology industry.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. What do you think could be the points of conflict in terms of bio ethics?
Well, I think there will be problem with people’s interest with respect to abortion, genetic advances, right to privacy, rights of a child, capacity to make personal decision in their food habits asthere 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.
