The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks in statements A-D with the appropriate terms related to the concepts of plant biology and nutrition. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to complete each statement: ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Statement A:** - The statement reads: "Although the plant is infected with a virus, the apical and axillary `overset((i))("_______")` is free of virus." - The correct term to fill in the blank is **"meristem"**. Meristematic tissues are regions in plants where cells are actively dividing and are typically free from viral infections. **Statement B:** - The statement reads: "Around three billion people in the world suffer from `overset((ii))("_______"), overset((iii))("_______")` and `overset((iv))("_______")`, deficiencies or hidden hunger." - The correct terms to fill in the blanks are **"micronutrient"**, **"minerals"**, and **"vitamins"**. These are essential nutrients that many people lack, leading to hidden hunger. **Statement C:** - The statement reads: "Alternate sources of proteins for animals and human nutrition is `overset((v))("_______")` like `overset((vi))("_______")`." - The correct terms to fill in the blanks are **"single cell protein"** (SCP) and **"Spirulina"**. SCP refers to protein derived from microbial sources, and Spirulina is a well-known type of SCP. **Statement D:** - The statement reads: "Whole plants could be generated from any part of the plant called `overset((vii))("_______")` and this capacity is called `overset((viii))("_______")`." - The correct terms to fill in the blanks are **"explant"** and **"totipotency"**. An explant is a piece of plant tissue used for tissue culture, and totipotency refers to the ability of a single cell to divide and develop into a complete organism. ### Final Answers: - (i) meristem - (ii) micronutrient - (iii) minerals - (iv) vitamins - (v) single cell protein - (vi) Spirulina - (vii) explant - (viii) totipotency
