प्रश्न
Why are bio-fertilizers preferred over chemical fertilizers?
उत्तर
Biofertilizers are preferred for chemical fertilizers due to the following advantages :
(i) Decomposition products of biofertilizers help to bring mineral constituents of soil into solution.
(ii They improve physiochemical properties of soil such as cation exchange and buffering action.
(iii) They modify the physical properties like granulation of the soil and increases permeability and moisture-holding capacity of the soil.
(iv) They are economically cheaper than chemical fertilizers.
(v) Biofertilizers do not cause any harm to the environment while many chemical fertilizers are non-degradable and cause soil and water pollution.
(vi) They provide food for soil microbes and thus enhance microbial activities.

Cloning of genes, play a very significant role in genetic engineering, helping the transfer of desirable foreign genes into different hosts. The scientists, to make this process easier and effective are creating engineered vectors in such a way that they help easy linking of foreign DNA and selection of recombinants from non-recombinants. 'pBR322' is one such engineered vectors developed by scientists. A diagram of an engineered vector pBR322 is given below:
- Name the host for this cloning vector.
- Identify 'Rop' and 'Ori' in the diagram from 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y' and 'Z'. Write their functions.
