DNA acts as the universal genetic material as it is present in all organisms except few. The process related to the DNA molecule is the same in all the organisms.

Since in the given question, the transfer of genes to plants via <em>Agrobacterium</em> and then the expression of the gene in plants shows that the passing of DNA has no barrier as DNA is the genetic material and the enzyme RNA polymerase recognized the gene which could help produce the mRNA from the gene.

Thus, options-B and D is the correct answer.

Answer:

Answer is D

Explanation:

If we start with 1000 units of energy, according with the text, 10% of those initial units (1000) which are contained in the grass, are passed to the next trophic level, so the cow receives 100 energy units. When tha chain continues, the 10% from the cow passes to the human, which is equal to 10 energy units.
