Read the following paragraph and answer the given questions.
Bio-fertilisers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil like cyanobacteria, while there are organisms that help to control plant diseases and pests. The very familiar beetle, the ladybird and dragonflies are useful to get rid of aphids and mosquitoes, respectively. An example of microbial biocontrol agents that can be introduced to control butterfly caterpillars is certain bacteria, which are available in sachets in the form of dry spores. These spores are mixed with water and sprayed onto vulnerable plants. Trichoderma species that are very common in the root ecosystem, are very effective biocontrol agents of several plant pathogens.Baculoviruses attack insects and other arthropods. Usage of these viruses is desirable when an ecological sensitive area is being treated.
Trichoderma is a/an:
- A Free living fungi
- B Mycobiont element in a lichen.
- C Algal element in a mycorrhizae

The sex linked recessive disease, which shows its transmission from unaffected carrier female to some of the male progeny has been widely studied. In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected. Due to this in an affected individual a simple cut will result in non-stop bleeding. The heterozygous female (carrier) for the disease may transmit it to sons. The possibility of a female becoming a sufferer of disease is extremely rare because mother of such a female has to be at least carrier and the father should be sufferer. The family pedigree of Queen Victoria shows a number of suffering descendents as she was a carrier of the disease.

Pollen pistil interaction involves all events from the landing of pollen grains on the stigma until the pollen tube enters the embryo sac (when the pollen is compatible). When a pollen tube grows through the style and enters into the ovules, it finally discharges two male gametes in one of the synergids. Syngamy and triple fusion are two fusion events occur in angiosperms. Thus, angiosperms exhibit double fertilization. The products of these fusions are the diploid zygote and triploid primary endosperm nucleus. Zygote develops into embryo and primary endosperm cell forms the endosperm tissue. The developing embryo passes through different stages before maturation.
If there are 38 chromosomes in the zygote, how many chromosomes will be there in its haploid egg cell?CUET 2025 Easy - Match List-l with List-II

Antibiotics have greatly improved our capacity to treat deadly diseases such as plague, whooping cough (kali khansi), diphtheria (gal ghotu) and leprosy (kusht rog), which used to kill millions all over the globe.
Streptokinase produced by the bacterium Streptococcus and modified by genetic engineering is used as a 'clot buster' for removing clots from the blood vessels of patients who have undergone myocardial infarction leading to heart attack. Microbes are diverse-protozoa, bacteria, fungi and microscopic animal and plant viruses, viroids and also prions that are proteinacious infectious agents. The puffed-up appearance of dough is due to the production of CO2 gas. Similarly the dough, which is used for making bread, is fermented using baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Primary sewage treatment basically involve physical removal of particles - large and small from the sewage through filtration and sedimentation. These are removed in stages; initially, floating debris is removed by sequential filtration. Then the grit (soil and small pebbles) are removed by sedimentation. All solids that settle form the primary sludge, and the supernatant forms the effluent. The effluent from the primary settling tank is taken for secondary treatment. The primary effluent is passed into large aeration tanks, where it is constantly agitated mechanically and air is pumped into it. This allows vigorous growth of useful aerobic microbes into flocs. While growing, these microbes consume the major part of the organic matter in the effluent.
