Which of the following is used as a biological control agent for insects and other arthropods ?

Read the passage and answer the following
Microbes are organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. They include bacteria, archaea, protists, viruses, prions, and fungi. They account for most of the diversity of life on earth. Far more microbes inhabit a single person's body than there are people on the entire planet. Microbes also dominate in terms of their ability to live and thrive in extreme environments, including clouds, deep-sea volcanoes, springs, ice caps, and animal intestines. Most animals, including humans, exhibit numerous associations with microbes. Our "human microbiome" includes our skin, hair, mouth, and gut.
Which of the following statements are correct about microbes ?
(A) All microbes are pathogenic
(B) Microbes can grow at 80°C temperature
(C) Microbes can be present at places where no other life-forms possibly exist
(D) All microbes are microscopic

Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions
The separated DNA fragments can be visualized only after staining the DNA with ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. Bright orange colored bands of DNA in ethidium bromide stained gel exposed to UV light can be seen. The separated bands of DNA are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece. This step is known as elution. The DNA fragments purified in this way are used in constructing recombinant DNA by joining them with a cloning vector.
The natural polymer used in the agarose gel is extracted from:

Read the Passage carefully and answer the the questions
The DNA fragments can be separated by a technique known as gel electrophoresis. Since DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules, they can be separated by forcing them to move towards the anode under an electric field through a medium/matrix. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. The repeated amplification of DNA is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus). After completion of the biosynthetic stage, the product has to be subjected through a series of processes before it is ready for marketing as a finished product. The downstream processing and quality control testing vary from product to product. The convention for naming restriction enzymes is the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated.
The downstream processing does not include -

Light from a point source in the air falls on a convex spherical glass surface having radius of curvature 20 cm and refractive index 1.5. The distance of the light source from the glass surface is 100 cm. The distance of the image from the glass surface is:

The half life of a first order reaction having rate constant, \(k=1.7 \times 10^{-5} s^{-1}\) is

Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
Adsorption is the phenomenon of attracting and retaining the molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid resulting into a higher concentration on the surface than in the bulk. The substance adsorbed is known as adsorbate and the substance on which adsorption takes place is called adsorbent. In physisorption adsorbate is held to the adsorbent by weak van der Waals forces and in chemisorption by strong chemical bond.
The process of absorption is accompanied by
