Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Insulin consists of two short polypeptide chains- chain A and chain B, that are linked together by disulphide bridges. Some strains of Bacillus thuringiensis produce proteins that kill certain insects such as lepidopterans, coleopterans and dipterans. Bt toxin protein is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkaline pH of the gut which solubilise the crystals. Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA (or genes) which codes for a particular product such as human protein (alpha-1-antitrypsin) used to treat emphysema. Plants, bacteria, fungi and animals whose genes have been altered by manipulation are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). GM plants have been useful in many ways. Genetic modification has: (i) made crops more tolerant to abiotic stresses. (ii) reduced reliance on chemical pesticides (pest-resistant crops). (iii) helped to reduce post harvest losses. (iv) increased efficiency of mineral usage by plants (this prevents early exhaustion of fertility of soil). (v) enhanced nutritional value of food.
Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products such as human protein (alpha-1-antitrypsin) used to treat the disorder:

Read the given paragraph and answer the given question :
Parasitism has evolved in many taxonomic groups from plants to higher vertebrates. Many parasites have evolved to be host specific in such a way that both host and the parasite tend to co-evolve. In accordance with their life styles, parasite evolve special adaptations and complex life cycle. Identify the statements which are not correct regarding host–parasite relationship:
(A) Host and parasite co-evolve.
(B) Parasite develops a main nervous system to survive.
(C) If host rejects parasite, parasite evolves counter-mechanisms to neutralize host defenses.
(D) If host rejects parasite, parasite succeeds by shifting to another host.

Read the given passage and answer the question.
ABO blood groups in human beings are controlled by the gene I. The plasma membrane of the red blood cells has sugar polymers that protrude from its surfaces and the kind of sugar is controlled by the gene. The gene (I) has three alleles IA, IB and I. The alleles IA and IB produce a slightly different form of the sugar while allele i does not produce any sugar. Because humans are diploid organisms, each person possesses any two of the three I gene alleles, IA and IB are completely dominant over I.
Match List - I with List - II.

List - I (Phenotype)	List - II (Genotype)
(A) Blood group A	(I) IB IB, IBi
(B) Blood group B	(II) IA, IA IA
(C) Blood group O	(III) IA IB
(D) Blood group AB	(IV) ii
