C) Different genetic mutations cause few forms of cancer. D) Somatic mutations can be inherited from parents or acquired during life.

Genetic mutations are accidental changes in the DNA in the germ cells or early in the formation of the embryo. These changes if they are in the germ cell will be passed on to other organisms formed by sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction. An example would be the golden delicious apple. A lost of genetic information due to a mutation resulted in a different color of fruit.

 

Genetic mutations that cause diseases are not always passed on to offspring.

A) 32 B) 40
C) 16 D) 30

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P. 

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

 

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

 

Now, Gain% = ProfitC.P×100 = 40-PP×100 

 

Here 40-PP×100= 25

-->P = 32.

A) Kameng River B) Lohit River
C) Subansiri River D) Manas River
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Lohit River

Explanation:

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated India’s longest bridge “Dhola-Sadia Bridge” in Assam on May 26, 2017. This three lane, 9.15 kilometre bridge has been built over river Lohit, a tributary of the Brahmaputra river. It links Dhola in Assam to Sadia. The bridge will reduce the distance from Rupai on NH- 37 in Assam to Meka-Roing on NH-52 in Arunachal Pradesh by 165 KM. The travel time between the two places will come down from the current six hours to just one hour, a total five hour reduction. This will result in saving of petrol and diesel worth Rs 10 Lakh per day. It will also cater to the strategic requirements of the country in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh, besides facilitating numerous hydro power projects coming up in the state.
