Consider the following statements about biotechnology:
1. Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences.
2. Ligase joins DNA fragments.
3. PCR amplifies DNA.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Explanation:
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at recognition sites, DNA ligase seals fragments, and PCR amplifies specific DNA sequences. All three are fundamental tools in biotechnology.
Explanation:
Transpiration mainly occurs through stomata and drives the transpiration pull for water movement. Guttation is liquid loss, evaporation from free surface.
Explanation:
Zymase is the enzyme complex in yeast that catalyzes alcoholic fermentation, converting pyruvate to ethanol and CO₂. Invertase hydrolyzes sucrose, lactase breaks lactose, maltase breaks maltose. Zymase activity is exploited in baking and brewing industries.
