EASY
Which of the following is the first step for genetically modifying an organism?
MEDIUM

Assertion (A): Bt toxin exists as inactive prototoxin but once an insect ingests the inactive toxin, it is converted into an active form of toxin.

Reason (R):  Protoxin gets activated in insect gut due to the acidic pH in the gut, which solubilises the protein crystals.

The correct answer is:

EASY
Which part of the tobacco plant is infected by Meloidogyne incognita?
EASY

EASY
Bt cotton variety that was developed by the introduction of toxin gene of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is resistant to
MEDIUM

Assertion A: In Bt cotton B. thuringiensis produces a toxic insecticidal crystalline protein which destroys bollworms.

Reason R: B. thuringiensis produces this toxic protein in an inactive form, but when an insect ingests this inactive protein, it is converted into active form of toxin due to the alkaline pH of gut which solubilises the crystals, which is responsible for the death of bollworm.
