Increasing energy efficiency helps to reduce carbon emissions and thus lowers the carbon footprint.

Somatic cell nuclear transfer is a method used for cloning, where the nucleus of a somatic cell is transferred to an egg cell.

Micropropagation is a method used for cloning plants by growing them from small tissue samples in a controlled environment.

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a method used for amplifying DNA, which is essential in gene cloning.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene editing technology that allows for precise modifications to DNA.

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a widely used method for transferring genes into plant cells, making it a key technique in plant biotechnology.

Microinjection is a method used to introduce foreign DNA into the cells of an organism, facilitating the creation of genetically modified organisms.

Insulin is produced using fermentation processes involving genetically modified bacteria that express the insulin gene.

Hybridoma technology is the method used for the production of monoclonal antibodies by fusing myeloma cells with specific immune cells.

A bract is a modified leaf that can be found at the base of a flower or inflorescence.

All of the options listed (tuber, rhizome, and bulb) are examples of modified stems.

Hydra is a multicellular organism, while the others are unicellular.

Flaxseed oil is a rich natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health.

Viruses are non-cellular entities that require a host cell to replicate.

Diabetes is classified as a non-communicable disease.

Pine trees are gymnosperms and are considered non-flowering plants as they do not produce flowers.

Water is a non-living component of an ecosystem, while plants, animals, and bacteria are living components.

Water is a non-living component of the ecosystem, while plants, animals, and bacteria are living components.

Mosses are non-vascular plants, meaning they do not have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients.

Boron is a trivalent element that creates holes in silicon, making it a p-type semiconductor.

Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that permanently prevents pregnancy by blocking the fallopian tubes.

Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are all polymers made from glucose.

Hybrid inviability is a postzygotic barrier that occurs when hybrid offspring do not develop properly or die before reaching reproductive maturity.
