A farmer produces two types of corn plants. One has larger sized kernels but fewer yields and another has smaller sized kernels

with high yield. He wants to produce a corn plant with larger sized kernels with high yield.
Which of these methods would be applicable for this?
A. Eliminate the gene for lesser yield from the genome of larger sized kernels and eliminate the gene for smaller sized kernels from the other corn variety.
B. Insert the genome responsible for larger sized kernels into the gene of the corn with smaller sized kernels and a high yield.
C. Insert the gene responsible for larger sized kernels into the genome of the corn with smaller sized kernels and a high yield.

<span>If the farmer chooses option A, he is merely left with two types of corn that produce no yield at all, because in the one instance he will eliminate the gene that produces yield and in the second plant it will produce no kernels because the gene is eliminated. It is impossible to insert an entire genome into the genetic material of another organism. The genome is the entire genetic data of an organism, including junk DNA etc, so option B is out. The best way to do it is to genetically introduce the gene for larger sized kernels into the corn plant that produces higher yields using molecular cloning techniques. So the correct answer is C.</span><span />

Why is salivary amylase active for only an hour or so, whereas lingual lipase isn't active until reaching the stomach
leva [86]

Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.

The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.

Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.
