#Biochemistry
Assertion (A): Prolactin stimulates the synthesis of casein and lactalbumin during lactation without acting directly on the cell nucleus.
Reason (R): The action of prolactin is dependent on intact microtubules, suggesting involvement of cytoplasmic transport or signaling components.

I. The adrenal medulla does not regenerate, but when the inner two zones of the cortex are removed, a new ZF and ZR regenerate from glomerular cells attached to the capsule.
II. Immediately after hypophysectomy, the ZF and ZR begin to atrophy, whereas the ZG is unchanged because of the action of angiotensin II on this zone.
III. The ability to secrete aldosterone and conserve Na+ is normal for some time after hypophysectomy, but in longstanding hypopituitarism, aldosterone deficiency may develop, apparently because of the absence of a pituitary factor that maintains the responsiveness of the zona glomerulosa.

#Plant Biotechnology
Assertion (A): Plant tissue culture is possible because even highly mature plant cells can dedifferentiate into meristematic cells.
Reason (R): Mature animal cells cannot change back into a proliferative state once they are fully differentiated.

#Plant Biotechnology
Assertion (A): Plant tissue culture requires aseptic conditions.
Reason (R): Contamination by microbes can compete with plant tissues for nutrients and inhibit growth.
