Creating plant-based vaccines

The video explains the process of creating a vaccine by using a gene that triggers an immune response to a virus. The gene is implanted into bacteria, which then infects a plant. The plant incorporates the gene and starts producing the protein needed for the vaccine. This protein is extracted and used to develop the vaccine.

What is the initial step in the body's defense against a virus?

• Creating a vaccine

• Generating an immune response

• Producing antibodies

• Infecting a plant

What is the role of bacteria in the gene implantation process?

• To act as a host for the gene

• To create a vaccine

• To produce antibodies

• To destroy the virus

How is the gene incorporated into the plant?

• By infecting the plant with bacteria

• Through genetic modification

• Through direct injection

• By using a chemical solution

What does the plant start producing after the gene is incorporated?

• Proteins

• Antibodies

• Enzymes

• Vitamins

What is the final product extracted from the plant used for?

• To generate energy

• To create a vaccine

• To enhance plant growth

• To produce antibiotics
