Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer [A]: DNA is transcribed into mRNA via the transcription process and then mRNA triplet codons undergo the process called translation to produce amino acid sequence of a protein.

Explanation: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) undergoes the process called transcription to produce mRNA sequence.

- This process takes place in the nucleus as genetic material is present in the nucleus.

- Then this mRNA sequence moves to cytoplasm where it undergoes the process called translation.

- During translation this mRNA sequence gets sorted into triplet codons.

- This triplet codon codes for particular amino acids. Hence a chain of amino acid is formed which in turn produces functional protein.

Answer [B]: transgenic organism.

- Genetic modification in plants provide characteristics like

resistance towards insects, antigens and herbicides
Can enhance the nutritional value of the plant.

Explanation: Transgenic organisms are genetically modified organism in which at least one gene is inserted into its DNA from other species or organisms.

- Transgenic Corn is also called as Bt-Corn as a gene is inserted into this plant from the bacterium species: Bacillus thuringiensis.

- This makes the corn plant resistance to insects.
