Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
During zygotene stage, the homologous chromosomes start pairing together and this process of association is called synapsis. The paired homologous chromosomes are called bivalents.
A steel wire of length 4.7 m and cross-sectional area 3.0 ×10−5m2stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length 3.5 m and cross-sectional area of 4.0 ×10−5m2 under a given load. What is the ratio of the Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper?
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: No Explaination.

Q6.A geyser heats water flowing at the rate of 3.0 liters per minute from 27 ∘C to 77 ∘C. If the geyser operates on a gas burner, what is the rate of consumption of the fuel if its heat of combustion is 4.0 ×104 J/g?
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Q=msΔT=3000×4.2×50
m = mass of water
s = specific heat of water
heat of combustion is 4.0 ×104 J/g
rate of consumption of the fuel = Q / Heat of combustion
Q7.Evolution and natural selection is demonstrated by
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Evolution and natural selection can be demonstrated by DDT resistance in Mosquito. Earlier, mosquitoes are not resistance to DDT. They get killed due to presence of DDT but later on more DDT is used and due to natural selection mosquito become resistant to DDT.
