Practice question
Question
Given below are two statements Statement I : Genetic approach of mosquito control can be achieved through SIT-RIDL technique. It requires less facilities and delivery mechanisms Statement II : RIDL requires stable transfection of a lethal gene in laboratory population. Best approach is to use a tetracycline-repressible transcription factor (tTa) associated with a lethal gene, which enables selection of females to be released and kills the female offspring of released and subsequent males In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options below
Explanation
Genetic control like SIT-RIDL demands extensive mass-rearing, sexing, irradiation, and release infrastructure, not fewer facilities. Additionally, RIDL involves transgenic males carrying tetracycline-repressible lethal system released to mate, killing offspring, not selecting females for release, making both statements inaccurate.
