Q1.Which of the following ecological pyramid is always erect and upright :
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
The pyramid of energy is always erect in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It is so because the energy accumulated by producers by photosynthesis is not stored in their body totally as some part of the energy they produce is used to perform different activities. So the energy flow decreases from producers to top level of consumer.
Q3.The giant planets Jupiter and Saturn consist mostly of
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
The name ‘gas giant’ was coined in 1952 by science fiction writer James Blish to refer to all the giant planets. The giant planets (Jupiter and Saturn) are huge gas balls, which is quite different than Earth and and other three rocky inner planets. Gas giants are primarily composed of gases, such as hydrogen and helium, and a much thicker layer of metallic hydrogen, along with a molten rocky core.
Unlike rocky planets, gas giants do not have a well-defined surface, and there is no clear boundary between where the atmosphere ends and the surface begins. In other words, you wouldn’t be able to land on these planets, as their atmospheres simply become gradually denser towards the core, perhaps with liquid or liquid-like states somewhere in between.
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Polyploidy is a condition in which multiple sets of chromosome is present in same cell in place of usual two sets (diploid). Cell division involves karyokinesis followed by cytokinesis. Colchicine prevents the cytokinesis that results the more than two sets of chromosome.
Q8.If all the members of a host species die then all its unique parasites also die off, representing:
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Coextinction and cothreatened refer to the phenomena of the loss or decline of a host species resulting in the loss or endangerment of other species that depend on it, potentially leading to cascading effects across trophic levels.
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Doping is the process of adding impurities to intrinsic semiconductors to alter their properties. Normally Trivalent and Pentavalent elements are used to dope Silicon and Germanium. When an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with Trivalent impurity it becomes a P-Type semiconductor.
