Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Bt toxins are insect group specific and coded by a gene cry IAc.
Statement II: Bt toxin exists as inactive protoxin in B. thuringiensis. However, after ingestion by the insect the inactive protoxin gets converted to active form due to acidic pH of the insect gut.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Protoxin activation occurs in the alkaline pH of the insect midgut, not acidic — Statement II is false.

Tropical regions show greatest level of species richness because:
A. Tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years, hence more time was available for species diversification.
B. Tropical environments are more seasonal.
C. More solar energy is available in tropics.
D. Constant environments promote niche specialization.
E. Tropical environments are constant and predictable.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Tropics are LESS seasonal (B false). A, C, D, E are valid reasons given in NCERT.
Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point called recognition sequence and it consists of:
Hind II recognition sequence is 6 bp (GTY↓RAC).

Loss of turgor in bulliform cells causes leaves to roll inward, reducing transpiration.
A transcription unit in DNA is defined primarily by the three regions in DNA and these are with respect to upstream and down stream end:
A transcription unit = promoter (upstream) — structural gene — terminator (downstream).
Which one of the following is not a criterion for classification of fungi?
Fungi are classified by morphology of mycelium, mode of spore formation and fruiting body — not by nutrition (all are heterotrophic).
In the given figure of a stoma in transverse section, which component has thin outer walls and highly thickened inner walls? (Labels A, B, C, D mark four parts; B marks the guard cells.)
Guard cells (B) have unevenly thickened walls — thin outer, thick inner — enabling stomatal opening.
