(c)Guiding a spacecraft for collision with a comet : United States of America
(d)Landing a spacecraft on an asteroid : Japan
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Cloning a human embryo for the first time : Germany
Creating the first mouse carrying a human chromosome was achieved in the United Kingdom, NASA’s Deep Impact (USA) guided an impactor into Comet Tempel-1, and Japan’s Hayabusa landed on asteroid Itokawa. Cloning of a human embryo was first reported in 2001 by Advanced Cell Technology in Massachusetts, USA—not Germany—so pair 2 is wrongly matched and option (b) is the mis-matched pair.
