The structure in the chloroplast that is the site of the light-dependent reactions is the:
A. Thylakoid membrane
B. Stroma
C. Inner membrane
D. Outer membrane
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes, where photosystems I and II, electron transport chains, and ATP synthase are located. Light energy is captured to produce ATP and NADPH and split water. The Calvin cycle (light-independent) occurs in the stroma.

Bt cotton is a genetically modified crop that contains a gene from:
A. Escherichia coli
B. Bacillus thuringiensis
C. Agrobacterium tumefaciens
D. Pseudomonas fluorescens

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Bt cotton is a transgenic crop developed by inserting cry genes (e.g., cryIAc, cryIIAb) from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). These genes code for crystal proteins (Cry proteins) that are toxic to certain insect pests, particularly the cotton bollworm. When the insect ingests the protein, it is activated in its alkaline gut, creating pores in the gut lining, leading to the insect's death.
