________ is a second mutation that compensates for the effect of an original, first mutation. Choose the most appropriate option from the below-mentioned options to fill in the gap:

________ एक दूसरा उत्परिवर्तन (second mutation) है जो मूल, पहले उत्परिवर्तन के प्रभाव की भरपाई (compensate) करता है। रिक्त स्थान की पूर्ति के लिए नीचे दिए गए विकल्पों में से सर्वाधिक उपयुक्त विकल्प चुनिए:

Forward mutation अग्रगामी उत्परिवर्तन Supplementary mutation पूरक उत्परिवर्तन Suppressor mutation दमनकारी उत्परिवर्तन Compensatory mutation प्रतिपूरक उत्परिवर्तन

Suppressor Mutation:

Suppressor mutation is a secondary genetic alteration that suppresses or alleviates the phenotypic consequences of an earlier (first) mutation, restoring the wild-type or near wild-type phenotype without reversing the original mutation.
Suppressors are categorized into:

Intragenic suppressors: Occur within the same gene as the first mutation (e.g., a compensatory insertion near an earlier deletion that restores reading frame).
Intergenic (extragenic) suppressors: Occur in a different gene (e.g., a mutant tRNA gene whose anticodon recognizes a nonsense stop codon introduced by the primary mutation).
- Forward mutation: Mutation from wild type to mutant form.
Reverse/back mutation: Direct reversion of the mutant allele back to the wild-type sequence.

Correct Answer: Option 3 (Suppressor mutation).

Which one of the following statements about the mode of reproduction is NOT correct?

प्रजनन की विधियों (modes of reproduction) के बारे में निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा कथन सही नहीं है?

Self-fertilization, where pollen from a plant will fertilize ovules of the same plant स्व-निषेचन, जहाँ एक पौधे का परागकण उसी पौधे के बीजांड को निषेचित करता है Cross-pollination, where pollen from one plant can only fertilize a different plant पर-परागण, जहाँ एक पौधे का परागकण केवल किसी दूसरे पौधे को निषेचित कर सकता है Asexual propagation, where the new plant is genetically identical to its parent अलैंगिक प्रवर्धन, जहाँ नया पौधा अपने जनक के आनुवंशिक रूप से समान होता है Apomixis, where seeds are produced asexually and the new plant is quite improved and different from its parents एपोमिक्सिस, जहाँ बीज अलैंगिक रूप से बनते हैं और नया पौधा अपने जनकों से काफी उन्नत और भिन्न होता है
