A covalent chemical bond is one in which ________.

#Biochemistry

  1. electrons are removed from one atom and transferred to another atom so that the two atoms become oppositely charged

  2. protons and neutrons are shared by two atoms so as to satisfy the requirements of both atoms

  3. outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals

  4. outer-shell electrons of one atom are transferred to fill the inner electron shell of another atom

#Plant Biotechnology

Q. Assertion (A): The main purpose of producing asymmetric hybrids is the introgression of specific desirable genes into another species.
Reason (R): Asymmetric hybridization allows selective elimination of chromosomes from one parent while retaining specific genes.

#Plant Biotechnology

Q. Assertion (A): Asymmetric hybrids often contain multiple genome copies of the non-irradiated parent.
Reason (R): Irradiation of one parent leads to extensive chromosome breakage and deletion.

#Plant Biotechnology

Q. Assertion (A): After repeated backcrossing of asymmetric hybrids with N. plumbaginifolia, plants with a diploid N. plumbaginifolia genome and a few A. belladonna chromosomes were recovered.
Reason (R): Backcrossing helps eliminate unwanted alien chromosomes while retaining selected genes.

#Plant Biotechnology

Q. Assertion (A): All asymmetric hybrids contained nitrate reductase gene and rDNA repeats of Atropa belladonna.
Reason (R): rDNA repeats are often preferentially retained during asymmetric hybridization.

#Plant Biotechnology

Q.Assertion (A): Hybrids obtained from irradiated carrot and non-irradiated rice protoplast fusion resembled rice plants.
Reason (R): The non-irradiated parent usually contributes more intact genomic material.

#Plant Biotechnology

Q. Assertion: The fusion of B. napus (AACC) and B. nigra (BB) results in a hybrid with the genomic constitution AABBCC. 
Reason: This specific interspecific fusion was primarily conducted to transfer resistance against Phoma lingam (black-leg disease) to rapeseed.
