Swaminathan
Richardson
Sanger
Insect resistance transgenic cotton has been produced by inserting a piece of DNA from:
an insect
a bacterium
a wild relative of cotton
a virus
The term genetic engineering is used for :
blotting technique
RNA reaction technique
protein synthesis technique
recombinant technique
The substrate for photorespiration is :
glycolate
acetyl Co-A
pyruvic acid
glucose
A.
glycolate
Photorespiration is a kind of respiration that occurs in photosynthetic cells only. In this process chloroplast, mitochondria and peroxisomes are involved. The substrate for photorespiration is glycolate formed in the chloroplast. It is converted enzymatically into glyoxalate in peroxisome which further changes into glycine. In mitochondria glycine changes into serine. It is the characteristic feature of C3 plants.
Assertion : "Rosie", the first transgenic cow, produced human protein-enriched milk.
Reason : The milk contained the human alpha for human babies than natural cow milk.
