<u>Answer</u>: True

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • There is a small flat spot present exactly in the centre of the posterior portion of the retina called as macula lutea.
  • The centre portion of the macula lutea is known as the fovea centralis.
  • The characteristic feature of the fovea is that it is composed <em>only of cones.</em>
  • Cones and rods are basically the photoreceptor cells present in the retina. The rods are responsible for black and white visions whereas the cones are responsible for coloured (<em>bright</em>) vision.
  • Since, the fovea is most concentrated with the cone cells and no rod cells are present in this area, it is the area of <em>highest visual acuity</em>. Visual acuity simply means the clarity of vision.
  • Another reason for the highest visual acuity in fovea is that the ganglion and bipolar cells which are responsible for some scattering of light, do not cover the cones present in the fovea and hence, the resolution is further enhanced.

So the statement that the <em>visual acuity is greatest at the fovea of the eye is true.</em>

3. List one advantage and disadvantage of a monocot root system.
inn [45]
Mono or root systems have fibrous roots These fibrous roots occupy the upper level of the soil in comparison to dicot root structures that dig deeper and create thicker systems.
A disadvantage is that this type of root is not favourable to the water scarce area or drought. So such plants live in the areas where water is easily available.

Which molecules are needed to cut and copy segments of DNA?
klio [65]
(1) reproductive hormones
(2) carbohydrates
(3) antibodies
(4) biological catalysts


Answer and Explanation:
All of the answer choices are molecules in our body. Let's look at the definition of each choice one at a time. Reproductive hormones such as testosterone and estrogen function to regulate reproductive functions such as menstrual cycle, sperm production etc.
Carbohydrates are molecules from which our bodies derive energy in the form of ATP.
Antibodies protect our bodies from the invasion of foreign particles (pathogens)
Biological catalysts, or enzymes help our body speed up and perform all of the reactions that need to be done such as cutting and copying DNA. Therefore, choice (4) is the correct answer choice.
