In molecular biology, restriction fragment length polymorphism, orRFLP, is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences. It refers to a differencebetween samples of homologous DNAmolecules from differing locations ofrestriction enzyme sites, and to a related laboratory technique by which these segments can be illustrated. InRFLP analysis, the DNA sample is broken into pieces and (digested) byrestriction enzymes and the resultingrestriction fragments are separated according to their lengths by gel electrophoresis. Although now largely obsolete due to the rise of inexpensive DNA sequencing technologies, RFLP analysis was the first DNA profilingtechnique inexpensive enough to see widespread application. RFLP analysis was an important tool in genome mapping, localization of genes forgenetic disorders, determination of riskfor disease, and paternity testing.

Which of the following are causes of indoor air pollution? Select all that are true.

Aleks [24]

"Carpeting", and "furniture increased ventilation" inefficient indoor cook stoves "VOCs from paints".

Option: C

<u>Explanation</u>:

VOC's are really harmful solvents that are released in the air as the paint dries. The VOC's can create acute health symptoms which may result harmful after some time, like dizziness, headache, and many more. Generally, the long term effects are not that evident, but some VOC's are more carcinogens according to US environmental protection agency. Although, many paint companies claim that their paints are VOC free which is actually false. It might be true that the VOC is not present in the base of the paint, but when the pigment is added to the paint the VOC increases. Hence, carpeting, furniture, cook stoves and VOC's from paints are really harmful indoor pollutants.

Which of these species is not an acidic oxide?

lesantik [10]

d. CO (carbon monoxide) is not an acidic oxide.

Acidic oxides are those oxides which either act as acceptors of the hydroxide ions (OH-) and function as a Lewis acid or they produce an acidic solution when added to water. Examples of acidic oxides are P4O10 (Phosphorus pentoxide), P4O6 (Tetraphosphorus hexaoxide), SO3 (Sulfur trioxide), SiO2 (Silicon dioxide) etc.

Neutral oxides do not show either of the basic or acidic properties. Due to this fact, they do not form salts when they react with acids or bases. Examples of neutral oxides include CO (carbon monoxide), NO (Nitric oxide), N2O (Nitrous oxide) etc.

Hence, option d is correct.
