Case Study: Wheat Genome and Genetics

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Indian scientists helped crack the DNA code of 'bread-wheat' genome, which would help improve global food security. It will allow faster breeding for climate-resilient varieties with drought, heat and frost tolerance, disease-resistant and superior quality grain. It may also help people suffering from allergy to wheat gluten. The information generated will help identify genes controlling yield, grain quality, resistance to diseases, etc. A variety of grains can thus be produced.

Write the full form of DNA.

What type of cell division is involved in the formation of gametes?

Variations confer an advantage to an individual to survive. Justify.
