Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Options -
A-avoid water pollution.
B-build thermal power plants.
C-add water features to gardens.
D-avoid drip irrigation systems
Solution -
The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.
Thus, option A is correct
Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.
Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect
Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option B is also incorrect
Answer:
b. characterized by a lucid interval immediately after injury.
Explanation:
Epidural bleeding is the accumulation of blood between the dura (membrane lining the brain) and the skull. This bruise is typically caused by an acute head trauma that ruptures the middle meningeal artery. This bleeding is characterized by a lucid interval immediately after an injury to this region.
This bleeding has its most frequent location at the temporal lobe level, between the bone and the dura mater. It is due to rupture of the middle meningeal artery, usually by a temporal bone fracture. The artery runs on the outer surface of the dura, housed in a groove in the inner bone board. The fracture may clamp or cut the artery, leading to a bruise.
Answer:
C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.
Explanation:
The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.
In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.
When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.
Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.
An isolated colony on a selective medium is not considered a pure culture because inhibited organisms might be masked by the colonies. This statement is true.
On the basis of their constitution or usage, culture media can be classified into various groups; these include defined, complex, selective, as well as enrichment medium.
A selective medium consists of dyes or noxious substances/chemicals which inhibit the growth of specific microorganisms but promote the growth of other microbes.
A pure culture is a laboratory culture which contains a single species of microorganism. It is free from other microorganisms.
Since selective media affects the growth of distinct organisms differently, therefore, an isolated colony formed in such type of medium is not considered a pure culture.
