I: | Spores and crystalline insecticidal proteins produced by B. thuringiensis are now used as insecticides in organic farming. |
II: | Because of their specificity, these pesticides are regarded as environmentally friendly, with little or no effect on humans, wildlife, pollinators, and most other beneficial insects. |

Assertion (A): | Whole plants can be regenerated from any part of a plant taken out and grown in a test tube, under sterile conditions in special nutrient media |
Reason (R): | Every living plant cell is totipotent |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A) |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion (A): | Transgenic animals can be specifically designed to allow the study of how genes are regulated, and how they affect the normal functions of the body and its development, e.g., study of complex factors involved in growth such as insulin-like growth factor. |
Reason (R): | By introducing genes from other species that alter the formation of this factor and studying the biological effects that result, information is obtained about the biological role of the factor in the body. |
