1. CSF stands for Cerebrospinal Fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is usually done to investigate the presence of infective agents in the brain. The CSF is produced by the choroid plexus which is located in the brain. After production, the fluid is released into the blood stream and it is reabsorbed and replaced every few hours. The fluid flows around the brain and the spinal cord and provides protection for the organs, it also carry away their wastes. Thus, the CSF from the spinal cord will give one information about the condition of the brain because, the CSF in the spinal cord is continuous with that in the brain, therefore any foreign object that is present in the brain will also be seen in the CSF fluid of the spinal cord.

2. If the spinal needle is accidentally inserted into the epidural space, it must be withdrawn immediately. This is necessary in order not to pierce and consequently damage the spinal cord. This may result in paralysis. Epidural space is only used for administration of therapeutic substances, spinal injection must not be inserted in the epidural space. <span />

Keith_Richards [23]
Abiotic factors composed of water, light, temperature and air etc. due to fire's this primary succession was completely destroyed. Their remaining organic bodies were decomposed in soil texture.

In order to establish secondary succession there is need of water and light, because water help in translocation of food and nutrients in plants while light is important for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis need three major components. these are H₂O, CO₂ and light, all these components are abiotic part of ecosystem. However, when secondary succession occurs, then light play a key role in changing the composition of plant community. The best example is the difference in height of plants of different community.

The recombinat types are AB, and ab.
Genetic recombination involves the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent. In our case the parents are Ab and aB, which is not the same as the offsprings (AB,ab). During meiosis in eukaryotes, recombination involves the pairing of the homologous chromosomes a process.
