As scientists have developed more productive crop varieties, farmers have switched from growing many traditional varieties to ne

w high-yield varieties. For example, in Peru, the Indians once grew 500 native varieties of potatoes. That number has been reduced to about twenty major potato varieties, worldwide.

Switching from traditional crop varieties to new high-yielding varieties of potatoes will lead to a <u>reduction</u> in the<u> </u><u>varieties of potato</u><u> </u>as well as the <u>potato</u><u> </u><u>gene pool</u><u>.</u>  

Explanation:

This switching led to the green revolution in many countries with increased production of crops. However, the traditional healthier varieties of crops are lost over the period and only the newer high-yielding varieties remain. When the genetic pool of a crop is downsized it leads to declining of the genetic diversity.  

A large gene pool will help to maintain the genetic diversity of a species to withstand environmental challenges and stresses. Smaller a gene pool becomes, greater are the chances for it become wiped out or extinct.  

Hence to maintain the gene pool of a crop and the genetic diversity, traditional varieties should be maintained.

You have a 15kb plasmid. EcoRI cuts the plasmid into 7kb and 8kb pieces, and BamHI cuts the plasmid into 1kb and 14kb pieces. If
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. Bands at 1kb, 6kb and 8kb

Explanation:

The EcoRI and BamHI are the restriction enzymes which cut the DNA sequence especially a plasmid at specific sites called the restriction sites.

The restriction enzymes produces bands of specific length therefore these restriction enzymes are used to estimate the approximate length of the DNA.

In the given question, the

1. EcoRI- produces two strands of 7 kb and 8 kb

2. BamHI- produces two strands of 1kb and 14kb

This shows that the length of DNA sequence is 15kb

But when the DNA strand are digested with both the enzymes simultaneously then it will produce three bands as:

i) 14 kb can be broken down in 2 bands of 6 kb and 8 kb

ii) 1 kb band is already produced by the Bam HI.

This shows that 1+6+8= 15 kb

Thus, Option-A is correct.
