Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A):  In human beings, insulin is synthesized as a pro-hormone which needs to be processed before it becomes fully mature and functional.
Reason (R):  The extra stretch of C-peptide is to be removed from A-peptide and B-peptide chain of insulin.

In the light of the above statements, Choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below :

1. (A) is True but (R) is False. 
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation for (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A):  The nematode cannot survive in a transgenic host which expresses specific interfering RNA.
Reason (R):  Nematode-specific gene introduced in the host produces both sense and antisense complementary RNA which initiate RNA interference in the host cell.

In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below :

1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

2. Human alpha–lactalbumin
3. Human insulin–like growth factor
4. Human enzyme Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)

Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystals that contain insecticidal protein. This protein:

1. does not kill the carrier bacterium, which is itself resistant to this toxin.
2. binds with epithelial cells of midgut of the insect pest ultimately killing it.
3. is coded by several genes including the gene cry.
4. is activated by the acid pH of the foregut of the insect pest.
