Answer: The viral nucleic acid is most likely Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Explanation:
Unlike ribonucleic acid (RNA) where uracil can be found, thymine alongside adenine, cytosine and guanine are only found in DNA.
Thus, the presence of 10% thymine in the newly discovered virus makes its analyzed nucleic acid to be deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Answer:
The correct answer is option d. "India was a separate continent until 45 million years ago".
Explanation:
135 million years ago, Pangea was a single continent that became separated into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. India was part of Gondwana along with Australia, South America, Antarctica and Africa. However, as a result of tectonic activity India got separated from Gondwana. This period of time at which India was a separated continent is the factor that most likely explains why animals and plants in India differ greatly from species in nearby southeast Asia. At being a separated continent, India's plants and animals go through an independent evolutionary process which made them very different an unique from nearby species.

Explanation:
Electroplating involves the coating of one metal on another metal. It is an electrochemical process. The positive electrode is the coating metal while the negative electrode is the metal on which the coating is to be performed.
Since copper is to be coated on an iron nail. A copper plate is made the positive electrode while the iron nail should be the negative electrode.
The electrolyte used in the process should be a copper salt e.g CuSO4 solution.
As electrolysis progresses, the copper electrode(positive electrode or anode) gradually wears away due to the fact that the copper ions are going into the solution and are being deposited on the iron nail.
Answer:
The correct answer is option B, that is, promoter, operator, gene.
Explanation:
In a prokaryote, just in front of the operator, the promoter is located, and just in front of the structural genes, the operator is located. All these in combination give rise to an operon.
Any gene, which codes for an enzyme or a structural protein is termed as a structural gene, in the lac operon, a structural gene codes for three distinct kinds of enzymes. A short sequence of DNA is situated just in front of the structural gene, which is known as the operator. An operator functions as a switch for transcription, that is, it monitors whether the process of transcription will take place or not.
Just in front of an operator, a sequence of a promoter is present, and for the transcription and translation of all the structural genes, the RNA polymerase needs to combine first with the promoter. In case, if no transcription is to take place, then the operator allows the repressor to bind with it and prevent the attachment of RNA polymerase with the promoter. Hence, the correct sequence of a prokaryotic operon is a promoter, operator, and gene.
