Q:

Why is Meiosis called Reduction Division?

Answer

Meiosis ::


Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half in daughter cells, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.


Why it is called as Reduction Division ::


1. As the Meiosis division process involves in reduction of chromosome number in the daughter cells to half the number in the parent cell, this process is called Reduction Division.
Meiosis creates gametes (egg and sperm cells).


2. The resulting gametes have 23 new chromosomes, one member of each of the 23 pairs, representing unique combinations of the original maternal and paternal copies.

Q:

The area of a square is equal to the area of a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 5 cm more than a side of the square and its breadth is 3 cm less than the side of the square. What is the perimeter of the rectangle ? 

A) 15 cm B) 18 cm
C) 34 cm D) 26 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 34 cm

Explanation:

Let the side of the square be 's' cm

 

length of rectangle = (s+5) cm

 

breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm

 

(s+5) (s-3) = 

 

s2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s2 

 

2s = 15

 

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s–3) = 2(2s + 2)

 

= 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm

A Woman’s downstream swimming rate is thrice of her upstream swimming rate. If she covers 12 km upstream in 2.5 hours, what distance she will cover in 5 hours downstream?

 

A) 72 km B) 36 km
C) 56 km D) 42 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 72 km

Explanation:

Rate of her upstream = 12/2.5 = 4.8 km/hr

Then, ATQ

Rate of downstream = 4.8 x 3 = 14.4 km/hr

 

Hence, the distance she covers downstream in 5 hrs = 14.4 x 5 = 72 kms.

C) Rs. 12 D) Rs. 13.50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 11.25

Explanation:

Total quantity of sugar = 45 + 30 = 75

Gain or loss can be calculated as

9.75 x 75 - (30 x 9 + 45 x 10)

= 731.25 - 720

= 11.25

 

Hence, in the overall transaction, Rishi got Rs. 11.25 gain.

Q:

Tickets numbered 1 to 20 are mixed up and then a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn has a number which is a multiple of 4 or 15 ?

A) 6/19 B) 3/10
C) 7/10 D) 6/17
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3/10

Explanation:

Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}=> n(s) = 20
Let E = event of getting a multiple of 4 or 15
=multiples od 4 are {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}
And multiples of 15 means multiples of 3 and 5
= {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 15, 20}.
= the common multiple is only (15).
=> E = n(E)= 6
Required Probability = P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 6/20 = 3/10.
