| Statement I: | Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystals which contain a toxin that kills certain insects but not Bacillus because Bt toxin protein exists as inactive protoxins in Bacillus. |
| Statement II: | Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystals which contain a toxin that kills certain insects but not Bacillus because toxin requires alkaline pH available in the gut of insects and which solubilises the crystals in order to convert into an active form. |
| Statement I: | The genetic constitution of a plant is unaffected in vegetative propagation |
| Statement II: | Totipotency of cells enables us to micropropagate plants |
| 1. | Both statement I and statement II are true |
| 2. | Both statement I and statement II are false |
| 3. | Statement I is correct but statement II is false |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true |
| Statement I: | Proteins encoded by genes cryIAc and cryllAb control corn borer, that of crylAb control the cotton bollworms |
| Statement II: | Bt toxin protein exist as inactive protoxins but once an insect ingests the inactive toxin, it is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkaline pH of the gut |
| (i) | Genes are unstable and break down over time in the cell. |
| (ii) | Lung cells are constantly being replaced and new cells will have the faulty allele. |
| (iii) | The non-mutated allele is recessive. |
