Which of the following methods is/are used in recovery of healthy plants from diseased plants ?

Assertion: The process of nitrification involves the decomposition of proteins of dead plants and animals, and nitrogenous wastes like urea. Uric acid. Etc. of animals to ammonia. Reason: Nitrogen cycle is a sedimentary cycle.

Assertion : In tissue culture, whole plant can be produced from plant cell. Reason : The capacity to generate a whole plant from any cell/explant is called totipotency.

A bacterial cell was transformed with a recombinant DNA that was generated using a human gene. However, the transformed cells did not produce the desired protein. Reason could be (a) Human gene may have intron which bacteria cannot process (b) Amino acid codons for humans and bacteria are different (c) Human protein is formed but degraded by bacteria (d) all of the above
