Fundamentals of Genetics and Evolution

Escherichia coli strains (I-IV) with mutations in the lac operon were studied for $\beta -$ galactosidase activity, followed by measuring its $\mathrm{mRNA}$ and protein levels (Graphs). The arrow indicates the time of addition of a compound (namely IPTG) that induces the lac operon. Based on the results, the correct option(s) is(are)

Arrange the following biological discoveries in the correct chronology from the earliest to the latest.
i. British biochemist Frederick Sanger introduces his 'plus and minus' method for DNA sequencing.
ii. American scientists Walter Gilbert and Allan Maxam introduce their method of DNA sequencing using chemical processes to terminate DNA strands.
iii. Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher discovers and isolates DNA
iv. Canadian-American researchers Oswald Avery and Colin Munro MacLeod, along with American geneticist Maclyn McCarty, working on experiments on pneumococcal bacteria, establish that DNA could transform the properties of cells.
v. American biologist James Watson and English physicist Francis Crick discover the double helix when solving the three-dimensional structure of DNA, working from crystallographic data produced by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.

Assertion: Excessive use of pesticides and herbicides has no effect on resistant varieties of microbes.
Reason: Pathogenic bacteria are appearing in a very short period of time because of chemical resistance.
