Million Instructions Per Second is a method of measuring the raw speed of a computer's processor. MIPS measures roughly the number of machine instructions that a computer can execute in one second.

Eugenics is the study of altering human beings by changing their genetic components.

It is the study of the agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations either physically or mentally.

The distance between two genes is measured with a unit called map unit. One map unit is equivalent to 1% recombination frequency.

True, the given statement that Carbon in the ocean originates from the atmosphere is absolutely correct. Carbondi oxide in the atmosphere is absobed by the ocean surface and is dissolved as inorganic carbon in the oceans.

The Dowry Prohibition (Amendment) Act came into force from october2, 1985. This made the original Act more stringent and effective.

Osmosis is the process in which water molecules move from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower potential down a water potential gradient across a partially permeable membrane. It doen't requires any additional energy to do this work. 

So, Osmosis is a Passive.

Active and passive transport processes are two ways molecules and other materials move in and out of cells and cross intracellular membranes.

1. Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against a concentration gradient (from an area of lower to higher concentration), which does not ordinarily occur, so enzymes and energy are required.

2. Passive transport is the movement of molecules or ions from an area of higher to lower concentration. Passive transport occurs because of the entropy of the system, so additional energy isn't required for it to occur.

3. Active transport requires energy to proceed, while passive transport does not require the input of extra energy to occur.
