Choose the coorect alternative. Stem Cell Technology/PCR is being used for transformation of cells into specialized cells.

These questions consist of two statements each,printed as Assertion and Reason.While asnwering these questions you are required to chose any one of the following four responses. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason in correct explanation of Assertion. If both assertion and Reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertion and Reason are false. Assertion:The imbalance in the concetration of Na^+,K^+ and proteins generates the resting potential. Reason:to maintian unequal distribution of Na^+ and K^+ ions ,the neurons use chemical energy in the form of ATP to actively transort Na^+ ions out of the cell and move K^+ inside the cell.

In genetic engineering, a DNA segment (gene) of interest, is transferred to the host cell through a vector. Consider the following four agents (i-iv) in ths regard and select the correct option about which one or more of these can be used as vector/vectors: (i) Bacterium (ii) Plasmids (iii) Plasmodium (iv) Bacteriophage

Two questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you required to choose any one of the following four responses. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of Association. If both Association and Reason are true and Reasons is not a correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertions and Reasongs are false.
