Which of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched ?1. Renneling-Cheese2. Genetic Engineering-Plasmids3. Golden rice-Vitamin A4. Ozone layer - Troposphere

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Ozone layer - Troposphere

The correct answer is the Ozone layer - Troposphere.

  • Stratosphere
    • The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometres high.
    • The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.
    • The maximum concentration of ozone is found in Stratosphere.
  • Hence option 4 is correct.

  • Golden Rice is a new type of rice that contains beta-carotene (provitamin A), which is converted into vitamin A as needed by the body and gives the grain its golden colour.
  • Gene splicing
    • Gene splicing is the process of chemically cutting DNA in one organism and inserting it into the DNA strand of a vector, usually a plasmid.
    • The DNA is cut using special chemicals called restriction enzymes.
    • Through this technique, microorganisms are genetically engineered.
  • Renneling is used to separate milk into solid curds (for cheesemaking) and liquid whey, and so it or a substitute is used in the production of most cheeses.
