including resistance to toxins, not all transgenic animals are specifically made to be less
sensitive to toxic substances.

The correct answer is option (1) Both statement-I and statement-II are correct.
Solution/Explanation:

A. Statement I: ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is indeed based on the principle

of antigen-antibody interaction. It uses antibodies to detect the presence and quantity of an
antigen in a sample.
B. Statement II: In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, was produced. Rosie's milk was
enriched with human alpha-lactalbumin, making it nutritionally more similar to human milk.

 Asking about: The amount of nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, potassium, and calcium
present in the soil at any given time.

Concept:

A. The amount of nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, potassium, and calcium present in the soil
is referred to the nutrient pool in the soil, which includes both organic and inorganic
forms of these nutrients.

B. Standing state: Refers to the amount of specific nutrients in the ecosystem at any given
time, such as in the soil or vegetation.

C. Standing crop: Refers to the total biomass of living organisms (plants, animals, etc.) in
an ecosystem at a specific time.

D. Humus: The organic matter in the soil that has decomposed from plant and animal
matter, enriching the soil with nutrients.

E. Detritus: Dead organic material, including plant and animal matter, that is broken down

A. The term standing state is the most appropriate term here, as it refers to the total
quantity of nutrients (like carbon, nitrogen, etc.) in the soil at a given time. It refers to
the nutrient pool available in the soil.
