Once Upon A Time with Elephant and the Grass

Elephant: I am so hungry, that grass looks so fresh and tasty.

Grass: Nooooooo! Please don’t eat me! I haven’t even cracked my NEET exam yet.  😥

Elephant: Wait, what!? You’re preparing for NEET. So, you must be good in biology, right?  🙂

Grass: Do you even have a doubt? Of course, I am!

Elephant: Let’s check! I will ask you three questions, if you answer all three then I’ll let you go!

Grass: I’m in! Ask me anything!

Elephant: Here we go! How much time does it take for the pollen grains of rice and wheat lose their viability?

Grass: I can answer this even in my sleep! Pollen viability is the period for which pollen grains retain the ability to germinate. It is 30 minutes in rice and wheat. It depends upon environmental conditions of temperature and humidity.

Elephant: Correct! Now see if you can answer this. What is Water Potential?

Grass: So easy! Water potential is the difference between the free energy of water molecules in pure water and the free energy of water in any other system at the same temperature and pressure.

Elephant: For the last question, let’s give it a twist! I am a site in an operon for binding RNA Polymerase. Who am I?

Grass: Oh! This is a hard one, you might think that but it’s not, hahaha! Promoter Gene is site for binding of RNA polymerase. It is functional only when operator gene allows passage of RNA polymerase to structural gene.

Elephant: Wow! You really know your biology! As promised, I’ll leave you alone. I am impressed, how do you know all of this?

Grass: No biggie, I have subscribed to MTG Monthly Magazines – Biology Today, which keeps me updated about all the latest concepts and trends.
