Q:

Origins of genetic variation

A) intragenic recombination B) mutation
C) reticulation D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Random mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variation. Mutations are likely to be rare and most mutations are neutral or deleterious, but in some instances, the new alleles can be favored by natural selection. Polyploidy is an example of chromosomal mutation.

 

Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect.

1) mutation - an alteration in DNA sequence, various types

2) intragenic recombination - results in entirely new associations of genes not present in either parental genome.


Two forms of intragenic recombination:

a) crossing over
b) independent assortment
3) reticulation – acquisition of genetic material from unrelated or relatively unrelated sources (e.g., hybrid species, horizontal gene transfer).

Q:

All of the following are fat-soluble vitamins except

A) Vitamin C B) Vitamin A
C) Vitamin D D) Vitamin K
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Vitamin C

Explanation:

A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient that an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism.

There are 13 essential vitamins that our body need. They are categorized into 

1. Water soluble

2. Fat soluble

Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water, which means these vitamins and nutrients dissolve quickly in the body. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins are carried to the body’s tissues, but the body cannot store them.

Water-soluble vitamins are Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B12, B6, B7 & B9 and Vitamin C.


Fat-soluble vitamins are soluble in fats. They are absorbed by fat globules that travel through the small intestines and into the general blood circulation within the body. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body when they are not in use.

Fat-soluble vitamins are - Vitamin A, D, E and K.

Q:

In a race of 200 m, A can beat B by 31 m and C by 18 m. In a race of 350 m, C will beat B by ?

A) 25 m B) 21 m
C) 22 m D) 19 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25 m

Explanation:

A:B = 200 : 169
A:C = 200 : 182
 CB = CA×AB 

 

182200×200169

 

=> 182:169

 

When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 m
When C covers 350 m , B Covers 169182×350
=> 325 m

 

 

 

So C beats B by (350 - 325) = 25 m.
