| 1. Genome sequencing can be used to identify genetic markers for disease resistance and drought tolerance in various crop plants. |
| 2. This technique helps in reducing the time required to develop new varieties of crop plants. |
| 3. It can be used to decipher the host-pathogen relationship in crops. |
| Select the correct answer using the code given below: |
A) 1 only
B) 2 and 3 only
C) 1 and 3 only
D) 1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] Genome sequencing is figuring out the order of DNA nucleotides, or base' in a genome?the order of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that make up an organism's DNA. Statement 1: Currently available newbom screening (genome) for childhood: diseases allows detection of rare disorders that can be prevented or bette- treated by early detection and intervention. Statement 2: Naturally if the gene potential can be identified by screening and sequencing, it will help in better genetic engineering. Statement 3: This can be reasoned logically based on the above.
