Bt toxin protein that can kill many insects, doesn't kill the Bacillus because:
1. Bt toxin requires acidic pH for activation
2. Bacillus has protective mechanism against it 
3. In Bacillus, it is present in an inactive state and once insects ingests it, it is converted to active form
4. The protoxin requires protein conjugate for its activation

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Bt toxins are insect group specific and coded by a gene cry IAc.
Statement II: Bt toxin exists as inactive protoxin in B. thuringiensis. However, after ingestion by the insect, the inactive protoxin gets converted into active form due to acidic pH of the insect gut.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
2. Statement I is True but Statement II is False
3. Statement I is False but Statement II is True

Given below are two statements: one is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A):  The nematode cannot survive in a transgenic host which expresses specific interfering RNA.
Reason (R):  Nematode-specific gene introduced in the host produces both sense and antisense complementary RNA which initiate RNA interference in the host cell.

In light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below :

1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
