Explanation / Answer

1. Ames test is used for determination of carcinogenic material. This is true statement.

2. The DNA sequence is substituted because one base is substituted with another nucleotide base. Since, this substitution, resulted in change of amino acid in the resultant peptide. Hence, option b is correct.

3. The transduction involve horizontal transfer with the help of virus. Hence, option a is correct.

8. Air can be filter using HEPA filter and UV light. Hence, option D is correct.
