Explanation
Assertion : Organochlorine pesticides are organic compounds that have been chlorinated.
Reason : Fenitrothion is one of the organochlorine pesticides.
Pesticides are the substances used to kill or repel pests. On the basis of chemical structure, major pesticides are grouped under five categories.(i) organochlorines (ii) organophosphates (iii) carbamates (iv) pyrethroids (v) triazines. Organochlorines are basically organic compounds that have been chlorinated and have very low bio - degradation and get accumulated in environment and possess serious problems. DDT, BHC, Aldrin and Endosulphan are the examples of organochlorines.
Fenitrothion is an example of organophosphate.
So, the correct answer is 'If the assertion is true but the reason is false'
$$\textbf{Correct answer: A}$$
$$\textbf{Option (A):}$$
$$\bullet$$ Injecting a foreign gene into the animal gives rise to the animal genome containing an external gene from a different organism.
$$\bullet$$ This is called a transgene asset that is transferred from a different source.
$$\bullet$$ The animal in which the gene transfer occurs is called the transgenic animal.
$$\textbf{Option (B):}$$
$$\bullet$$ If the foreign gene transfer occurs in microorganisms then they are called transgenic organisms.
$$\textbf{Option (C):}$$
$$\bullet$$ Gene transfer from a different source into a plant produces a transgenic plant.
$$\bullet$$ There are processes of direct gene transfer and vector-mediated gene transfer.
$$\textbf{Option (D):}$$
$$\bullet$$ Transcription is the process of mRNA synthesis using the DNA of the organism.
$$\bullet$$ Transcribed animals have their genes undergoing transcription to show gene expression.
Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
