To obtain virus - free healthy plants from a diseased one by tissue culture technique, which part/parts of the diseased plant will be taken?
Apical meristem only
Palisade parenchyma
Both apical and axillary meristems
Both apical and axillary meristems
C.
Both apical and axillary meristems
Both apical and axillary meristems are free of virus for the healthy plant cultivation because of strong interferon activity in this region. These tissue form a protective impermeable covering around themselves, which s non-penetrable by any pathogen. Hence, these tissue are used in the production of disease-free plants by tissue culture.
Which one of the following statements is not correct?
Retinal is the light absorbing portion of visual photopigments
In retina, the rods have the photopigments rhodopsin, while cones have three different photopigments
Retinal is a derivative of vitamin -C
Retinal is a derivative of vitamin -C

How do parasympathetic neural signals affect the working of the heart?
