If a matrix has 8 elements, what are the possible orders it can have ?

Answer»

Since, the possible factor of 8 in two factors are 1 × 8, 2 × 4, 4 × 2 and 8 × 1. 

Since, the numbers of elements in a matrix of order m x n is mn. 

Therefore, the possible orders of matrices having 8 elements are 1 × 8, 2 × 4, 4 × 2 and 8 × 1.

Why is it not correct to assert that DNA selfreplicates?

Answer»

DNA is not completely autonomous in its duplication process because the replication does not occur without enzymatic activity. So it is not entirely correct to assert that DNA self-replicates.

16512.

As a result of DNA replication two DNA molecules come into existence. Why is it not correct to assert that two “new” DNA molecules are created? What is the name given to the process concerning that fact?

Answer»

During replication each chain of the DNA molecule acts by pairing new nucleotides and after the process two newly formed chains made with the union of these nucleotides appear. Then two DNA molecules are created, each with one chain from the original molecule and one new chain formed by new nucleotides. Thus it is not entirely correct to assert that the replication produces two new molecules of DNA. It is better to affirm that two new half-molecules are created.

For this phenomenon DNA replication is called semiconservative replication.

What is the total number of binary operations on the set {a, b}.

Answer»

We know that the total number of binary operation on set of cardinality n is \({n^n}^n\)

Since, the set {a, b} is having two elements. 

Therefore, the total number of binary operations on the set {a, b} is \({2^2}^2\) = 24 = 16.

16516.

What is the name of the DNA duplication process? What is the main enzyme that participates in it?

a) opiumb)fig  c) poppyd)all of the above

Answer»

Answer is All of the above.

Laticiferous tissues : They are made up of thin walled, elongated, branched and multinucleate (coenocytic) structures that contain colourless, milky or yellow coloured juice called latex. These occur irregularly distributed in the mass of parenchymatous cells. Latex is contained inside the laticiferous tissue which is of two types :

(i) Latex cells : A laticiferous cell is a highly branched cell with long slender processes ramifying in all directions in the ground tissue of the organ. They do not fuse and do not form network. Plants having such tissues are called simple or non-articulated laticifers. e.g., Calotropis (Asclepiadaceae) Nerium, Vinca (Apocyanaceae), Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae), Ficus (Moraceae).

(ii) Latex vessels : They are formed due to fusion of cells and form network like structure in all directions. At maturity, they form a highly ramifying system of channels full of latex inside the organ. Plants having such tissues are called compound or articulated laticifers. e.g., Argemone, Papaver (Papaveraceae), Sonchus (Compositae), Hevea, Manihot (Euphorbiaceae).

Let f ∶ x → y  be a function. Define a relation R in x given by R = {(a, b): (a) = (b)}. Examine whether R is an equivalence relation or not.

Answer»

We have relation on defined by R = {(a, b): f(a) = f(b)}, where f ∶ X → Y be a function. 

Reflexivity : Let a ∈ X. Since, f(a) = f(a) ⇒ (a, a) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ X. 

Hence, relation R is a reflexive relation on set . 

Symmetricity : Let a, b ∈ X such that (a, b) ∈ R. 

⇒ f(a) = f(b)⇒ f(b) = f(a) ∀ a, b ∈ X. 

Hence, relation R is a symmetric relation on set X. 

Transitivity : Let a, b, c ∈ X such that (a,b) ∈ R and (b,c) ∈ R. 

⇒ f(a) = f(b) and f(b) = f(c) 

⇒ f(a) = f(c) 

⇒ (a, c) ∈ R. 

Hence, if (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R, then (a, c) ∈ R∀ a, b, c ∈ X 

Hence, relation R is a transitive relation on set X. 

Since, relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive relation on set X. 

Therefore, relation R is an equivalence relation.

16523.

One characteristic of the DNA molecule is its replication capability. What are the consequences of failures during DNA replication?

Answer»

Ideally, a DNA molecule should replicate in a perfect way. Sometimes however failures in the duplication occur, with alteration (deletion, addition or substitution) of one or more nucleotides in the molecule.

Those mistakes, or mutations, therefore make changes in the protein synthesis process too. For example, the production of an important protein for cells or tissues may be suppressed, new utile or inutile proteins can be created, etc. The mistake in the DNA duplication and the resulting production of altered genetic material are some of the main creative forces for the biological evolution and the diversity of species.

16527.

Mistakes may happen during every copying process. The same is true for DNA replication. Are there correction systems in cells that try to fix those mistakes? Under which situation are the mistakes carried only by the individual owner of the cell within which the mistake has occurred and in which situation are they transmitted to other individuals?

Answer»

The cell is equipped with an enzymatic system that tries to fix mistakes of the DNA replication process. This system, however, is not completely efficient.

DNA replication mistakes are kept in the original individual where the failure occurred when the phenomenon affects somatic cells. If a replication mistake occurs in the formation of a germline cell (e.g., in gametes) the DNA alteration may be transmitted to the offspring of the individual.

Incorrect order of the following with respect to nucleophillic addition reaction of carbonyl compound isA. Reactivity `HCHOgtCH_(3)CHOgtCH_(3)COCH_(3)`B. Reactivity `PHCHOgtHCHO`C. Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon `HCHOgtCH_(3)CHOgtCH_(3)COCH_(3)`D. Electrophicityy of carbonyl carbon: `HCHOgtPhCHO`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Polarity of carbonyl group is reduced in `Ph-CHO` due to resoance. Hence the respective carbonyl carbon is less electrophilic that that propanal and therefore less reactive.
Hence reactivity order `(H_(3)"CC"H_(2)CH)gtPhCHO)`
