6606.	In India, as perhaps in many other countries of the world, trees have been held in veneration since ancient times. Our rishis of yore retired to forests to meditate and to do penance amidst trees "far from the madding crowd. Our forefathers loved trees and forests so much so that, they even deified and worshipped them as abodes of Vrikshadevata and Varadetata. Many of them were not cut without good reason In ancient India, groves of trees and flower gardens were reared with loving care. In ancient Sanskrit literature, there are many references of young maidens kicking the Ashoka tree to make it flower. But in fact, the kick could be administered by anyone. The method seems to work, though nobody knows why? Some say the kick interrupts the flow of water upwards triggering a defense mechanism that causes the tree to flower. In western countries, people beat their walnut trees to encourage them to bear fruit. It is believed that a good beating ensures a good crop of walnuts. Like the Ashoka, the Walnut too is a fall tree. Perhaps all tall trees benefit occasionally from a beating sound.In parts of Uttar Pradesh, they resort to another strategy to get mango trees to Bower. If a tree has not given fruit in a particular year, the owner, accompanied by three or four friends, walks menacingly towards it with an axe and loudly announces his intention of cutting down the tree. His friends persuade him not to do so. When he has gone they berate the tree for not giving fruit and advise it to give plenty of fruit the next time if it wants to live. The method is said to give good results.1. Why did Rishis retire to the forests?a. Rishis retired to forests to meditate and to do farming.b. Rishis retired to forests to multiply and to do menace.c.

6633.	Describe the event taking place during interphase.
Answer» The interphase is divided into three further phases: 1. G₁ phase (Gap 1). G₁ phase corresponds to the interval between mitosis initiation of DNA replication. During G₁, phase the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. 2. S phase (Synthesis). S or synthesis phase marks the period during which DNA synthesis or replication takes place. 3. During this time the amount of DNA per cell doubles. If the initial amount of DNA is denoted as 2C then it increases to 4C. However, there is no increase in the chromosome number, if the cell had diploid or 2n number of chromosomes at G , even after S phase the number of chromosomes remains the same, i.e., 2n. 4. G₂ phase (Gap 2). In animal cells, during the S phase, DNA replication begins in the nucleus, and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm during the G₂ phase, proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis White cell growth continues.

Answer» Some cells in the adult animals do not appear to exhibit division (e.g., heart cells and many other cells divide only occasionally, as needed to replace cells that have been lost because of injury or cell death. These cells do not divide further exit G₁ phase to enter an inactive stage called quiescent stage (G₀) of the cell cycle. Cells in this stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism.

6636.	Explain the principle of ‘Scalar Chain’ and gang plank.
Answer» Scalar Chain refers to a pre-defined, formal path of authority and communication in the order of highest to the lowest. For example- if A is the CEO of an organisation and he has two paths of authorities under him. One, A-B-C and the other A-D-E. Everybody in the organisation follows this chain of authority for communication. For example, If C wants to contact with E then he will have to follow this formal path, as C → B → A → D → E. That is, C has to first contact the higher authorities (C → B → A) over him who then transverse the communication to E (A → D → E). However, in case of emergency C may directly contact E through ‘Gang Plank’. Gang plank is a shorter emergency route through which the workers lower in the authority chain can directly contact the persons of higher authority or those working in other scalar chains.

Answer» According to NTA official Answer key The answer will be (3) suspend the cell cycle Correct option: (1) exit the cell cycle Explanation: Cells in G₀ phase are said to exit cell cycle. These are at quiescent stage and do not proliferate unless called upon to do so. Answer is suspend same question was asked in wbjee 2009 The G₀ phase of the cell cycle represents the cells that exit from the cell cycle, the causes for this situation may be natural behaviour of the cells as a result of reaching its limit in number of divisions ( Hayflick limits ) and become senescent cells, and may be the cause of this situation abnormal result from mutation in genes that control the cell division, some of the mutation that thought cause cancer and another may be cause quiescent cells. The answer for this will be exit the cell cycle. Cells in Go phase exit out of the G1 phase to enter into the quiscent stage. Go is not the part of cell cycle. The cell cycle is itself G1-S-G2-M phase. The question is asked 10 years before and the ncert is updated now !So it will be exit

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : from general to specific Experimental method:- Experiment method is the method in which we use various experiments to reach a conclusion. The experimental method is usually taken to be the most scientific of all methods, the 'method of choice' The experimental method is a means of trying to overcome the problem. Importance of experiment method:- This method improves student hand skills. It makes them more productive and increases their active involvement in learning. Students can create a relationship between theory and practice by experiment method. Geometry is a vital branch of the mathematics curriculum. In upper classes, students study geometry with informal knowledge about points, lines, a variety of two and three-dimensional shapes, etc with geometric relationships. Teachers taught geometry theorems through the experimental method. It starts with the assertion of a general rule and proceeds from there to a specific conclusion. Teachers taught them the geometry rules first then they reach the theorem. It establishes linkage with real-life observations and knowledge already gained. It starts with a rule and provides for practice and applications. Hence, we can conclude that Geometry theorems are taught by experimental method at upper primary classes which follows from general to specific direction the learning experiences proceed during teaching.

Consider a resistor chosen at random from a batch with a nominal value 1000 W and tolerance 5%. What could be its actual value range?1. Between 900 W and 1000 W2. Between 950 W and 1050 W3. Between 900 W and 1050 W4. Between 950 W and 1000 W

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Between 950 W and 1050 W

Calculation:

The nominal value is 1000 W.

Tolerance is 5 %.

So actual value range will vary from -5 % to +5 % of nominal value.

Low Range = 95 % of 1000 = 950 W

High Range = 105 % of 1000 = 1050 W

Hence option (2) is the correct answer.

All the static performance characteristics of measuring instruments are obtained by _______.1. resolution2. measurement3. accuracy4. calibration

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : calibration

The characteristics of measurement instruments that are helpful to know the performance of instrument and help in measuring any quantity or parameter are known as Performance Characteristics.

Performance characteristics of instruments can be classified into the following two types.

Static Characteristics
Dynamic Characteristics

Static characteristics:

The set of criteria defined for the instruments, which are used to measure the quantities which are slowly varying with time or mostly constant, i.e., do not vary with time, is called ‘static characteristics’.

The various static characteristics are:

i) Accuracy

ii) Precision

iii) Sensitivity

iv) Linearity

v) Reproducibility

vi) Repeatability

viii) Threshold

ix) Drift

x) Stability

xi) Tolerance

xii) Range or span

All the static performance characteristics of measuring instruments are obtained by Calibration.

Calibration: It is the process of configuring an instrument to provide a result for a sample within an acceptable range. Eliminating or minimizing factors that cause inaccurate measurements is a fundamental aspect of instrumentation design.

Dynamic characteristics:

The set of criteria defined for the instruments, which are changing rapidly with time, is called ‘dynamic characteristics’. The various dynamic characteristics are:

i) Speed of response

ii) Measuring lag

iii) Fidelity

iv) Dynamic error
