Creation of new varieties of pest-resistant GM crops:
1. makes crops more resistant to abiotic stresses
2. reduces reliance on chemical pesticides
3. enhances nutritional value of food crops
4. increases efficiency of mineral usage by plants
1. | Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) technique |
2. | Recombinant DNA Technology |
3. | Serum and Urine analysis |
4. | Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique |
1. | Mature insulin molecule consists of three polypeptide chains - A, B and C. |
2. | Insulin is synthesized as prohormone which contains extra stretch of C-peptide. |
3. | C-peptide is not present in mature insulin molecule. |
4. | Polypeptide chains A and B are linked to disulphide bridges. |
