<u>Answer</u>:    A)diamond

<em>An allotrope of carbon that is mostly used in jewellery is diamond. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>Allotropes of an element are the different physical forms</em> in which the element can exist. These allotropes will have surprisingly different physical properties. Carbon has various<em> allotropes like diamond, graphite and fullerene. </em>

They differ in their <em>physical appearance</em> as well as physical properties. Accordingly they have differing uses.  Graphite is electrically conducting  while diamond  is a poor electrical conductor. <em>Just like carbon many elements have varying number of allotropes. </em>

<h2>Correct Answer is (C)</h2>

Explanation:

  (C) Use of reporter genes

  • <em>Reporter gene</em> A quality that is utilized to<em> 'tag' </em>another quality or DNA succession of interest, for example, <em>an promoter</em>
  • Expression of the correspondent is handily observed, and allows the function or whereabouts of the<em> 'target' sequence</em> to be tracked.It have a two type of reporter gene such as scorable reporter gene and selector gene
  • Scorable reporter gene - The gene have expression of this result in quantifiable  phenotype and easily detected through highly<em> sensitive enzymes assays </em>
  • Selector gene- The gene expression<em> resistance to a toxin</em>  and selection of tranformants from <em>non tranformants in growth media containing selective agents </em>

In the United States today, about half of the corn crop is genetically engineered with a protein that is toxic to corn borers, a
Fed [463]

Answer:

a. The corn borer must have or generate (by mutation) heritable variation in resistance to the toxic protein.

b. The resistant corn borers must survive better or reproduce more than nonresistant corn borers.

Explanation:

When there is a change in the surroundings of organisms, some genetic variations become beneficial to the organisms. Natural selection favors the organisms having these genetic variations.

The development of resistance in the corn borer population requires the presence of the gene for the resistance in the population. If there is no gene already present in the population, there should be a mutation to give rise to such gene/s. The corn borers having this gene should be able to survive better in the presence of the toxic protein and should leave more progeny in order to increase the frequency of the gene in the population over the generations.
