General Knowledge Questions

DNA is made of nucleotides. And these Nucleotides are made of a pentose sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate, and a nitrogen-containing bases.

Hence, the given statement 'Nucleotides are made of a pentose only' is FALSE.

Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element, that is, each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist.

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes due to its valency. Well-known forms of carbon include charcoal, diamond, graphite, buckminsterfullerene and graphene.

Hence, Ethylene is not an allotrope of Carbon.

The process which involves absorption of heat is endothermic.

Here given all the options are involving in absorption of heat. Hence, all the above are endithermic.

Amazon Rainforest Forests are located in South America.

From the given circuit,

The resistors R1 and R2 are in parallel connection and R3 is in series with R1 & R2

The equivalent resistance of R1 and R2 is

Req = (12 × 4)/(12 + 4) = 3 Ω.

Adding R3 in series with the pair gives

R = Req + 9

R = 3 + 9

R = 12 Ω.
