transgenic mice for testing safety to polio vaccine before use in humans
Transgenic mice are being developed for use in testing the safety of vaccines before they are used on humans. Transgenic mice are being used for testing toxicity of drugs. Transgenic animals are made that carry genes, which make them more sensitive animals. They are then exposed to the toxic substances and the effects studied. Toxicity testing in such animals will allow us to obtain results in less time.
Some of the characteristics of Bt cotton are
long fibre and resistance of aphids
medium yield, long fibre and resistance to beetle pests
high yield and production of toxic protein crystals which kill dipteran pests

The second maturation division of the mammalian ovum occurs
shortly after ovulation before the ovum makes entry into the fallopian tube
until after the ovum has penetrated by a sperm
until the nucleus of the sperm has fused with that of the ovum

Which one of the following statements about human sperm is correct?
Acrosome has a conical pointed structure used for piercing and penetrating the egg, resulting in fertilisation
The sperm lysis in the acrosome dissolve the egg envelope facilitating fertilization
Acrosome serves as a sensory structure leading the sperm towards the ovum
