Developing cisgenic disease resistant apple is advantageous over conventional breeding because:

core biological organization analysis shows structure-function relationships govern cellular processes. Consequently there is no linkage drag. emerges as the valid choice since it integrates fundamental life science principles, aligning with established principles in general biology literature.

Ref: Alberts et al., Essential Cell Biology, 5th Edition, Chapter 1, Introduction to Cells, covers cellular organization, molecular mechanisms, genetic information and biological systems offering integrated perspective on core life science concepts.

Which one of the following molecular markers is associated with bacterial blight resistance in rice?

In microbiology, microbial physiology dictates that growth regulation and host interactions follow molecular programs. Therefore Xa21 is correct as it corresponds to prokaryotic and viral strategies, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.

Ref: Madigan et al., Brock Biology of Microorganisms, 15th Edition, Chapter 13, Virology and Bacteriophage Biology, explains viral replication, lytic and lysogenic cycles and virus-host interactions detailing microbial genetics.
