Explanation:
The Haber-Bosch process synthesizes ammonia from N₂ and H₂ under high temperature and pressure with a catalyst. It is the main industrial nitrogen fixation for fertilizers. Biological fixation is by microbes.
Explanation:
Bt brinjal is a transgenic eggplant (brinjal) developed by inserting the cry1Ac gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). This gene codes for a crystal protein that is toxic to the larvae of the brinjal fruit and shoot borer (Leucinodes orbonalis), a major pest that causes significant yield loss. When the insect ingests the plant tissue, the alkaline gut activates the toxin, creating pores in the gut lining and killing the pest.
Explanation:
Fossils are direct evidence showing transitional forms. Lamarck proposed use and disuse, not natural selection. Analogous organs do not indicate common ancestry; homologous do. Appendix is vestigial.
