In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced human protein-enriched milk. The milk contained the _________ and was nutritionally a more balanced product for human babies than natural cow-milk.

In the species-area relationship equation, log S = log C + Z log A, 'Z' denotes -

Read the passage carefully to answer the questions given below
Some strains of `Bacillus thuringiensis` produce proteins that kill certain insects such as lepidopterans (tobacco budworm, armyworm), coleopterans (beetles) and dipterans (flies, mosquitoes). In `Bacillus thuringiensis` the toxin is coded by a gene `crylAc` named cry. There are a number of them, for example, the proteins encoded by the genes `crylAc` and `cryllAb` control the cotton bollworms, that of `crylAb` controls corn borer. Using conventional methods of diagnosis (serum and urine analysis, etc.) early detection is not possible. Recombinant DNA technology, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Enzyme Linked Immuno-sorbent Assay (ELISA) are some of the techniques that serve the purpose of early diagnosis. The first clinical gene therapy was given in 1990 to a 4-year old girl with adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency. This enzyme is crucial for the immune system to function. The disorder is caused due to the deletion of the gene for adenosine deaminase. `RNAi` takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method involves silencing of a specific `mRNA` due to a complementary `dsRNA` molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the `mRNA`.
Which of the following Bt toxin gene controls the corn borer?

Who popularised the term 'Biodiversity' that intends to describe the combined diversity at all the levels of biological organisation?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Bioactive molecule, cyclosporin A, that is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ-transplant patients, is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum. Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. It acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme responsible for synthesis of cholesterol. Baculoviruses are pathogens that attack insects and other arthropods. The majority of baculoviruses used as biological control agents are in the genus Nucleopolyhedrovirus. These viruses are excellent candidates for species-specific, narrow spectrum insecticidal applications. They have been shown to have no negative impacts on plants, mammals, birds, fish or even on non-target insects. BOD refers to the amount of the oxygen that would be consumed if all the organic matter in one liter of water were oxidised by bacteria. The sewage water is treated till the BOD is reduced. Cheese, is one of the oldest food items in which microbes were used. Different varieties of cheese are known by their characteristic texture, flavour and taste. For example, the large holes in 'Swiss cheese' are due to production of a large amount of CO₂ by a bacterium named Propionibacterium sharmanii.
Statins are produced by:

Read the paragraph given below and answer the question. If a person is born with a hereditary disease, can a corrective therapy be taken for such a disease? Gene therapy is an attempt to do this. Gene therapy is a collection of methods that allows correction of a gene defect that has been diagnosed in a child/embryo. Here genes are inserted into a person's cells and tissues to treat disease.
The first clinical gene therapy was given in to

Area bounded by the curves \(y^2=9 x\) and \(y=3 x\) is:

A right angled triangle has its longest side \(B C\) as the diameter of a circle of radius \(r\) and a vertex \(A\) lying on the circle. Maximum area that the triangle \(A B C\) can enclose is:

If A is a square matrix of order \(3 \times 3\) and \(\left|A^T\right|=-3\), then \(\left|A A^T\right|\) is equal to
