35) Kilowatt hour is unit of
a) Power (The unit of electric current is Ampere) 9) Which of the following is not a part of Darwinism: I think it should be (a) Over production. Because if over production were part of evolution, then the notion of 'survival of the fittest' would be wrong. Plus Darwinism doesn't forgo inheritance of characteristics, it in fact depends on it because the species which are most likely to survive, inherit those superior characteristics from their parents. I am not 100% certain myself, anyone else agree with me? |

23. The building blocks of elements are called:
a) Atoms Because except for a handful of gases that can only exist as molecules (Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Chlorine) , all other elements are composed of atoms. Molecules are building blocks of compounds not elements. 27) If an alkali is slowly added to an acidic solution, the pH of the acidic solution will: d) Decrease to 7 and then increase A is not right because adding alkali will lower pH of acidic solution. 31) Information can be sent over long distances in the form of: Can you explain this, I am sceptical. 10. When a ray of sunlight enters a dark room , its straight path become visible because of dust particles hanging in the air. It is because light is : Light itself is invisible. You can see things clearly in presence of light, can't you? Had light been visible our view would have been murky at least :P b)Transparent |

(35) Kilowatt-hour is a unit of:
a. Power b. Electric Current c. Energy d. Time e. None of these ok, Kilowatt hour is the unit of electricity consumed in homes, I confused it with electric current. but it is a unit of energy basically, not power. WATT is the unit of power. so correct answer is energy. *The kilowatt hour, also written kilowatt-hour, (symbol kW·h, kW h or kWh) is a unit of energy. *It is most commonly used to express amounts of energy delivered by electric utilities, and it appears on electric meters and bills in some countries. *The kilowatt hour is a measure of work, the watt is a measure of power. The amount of wattage times the amount of time is the amount of work done. *It is not used in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit of energy is the joule (J), equal to one watt second. The kilowatt hour is commonly used, though, especially for measuring electric energy. |

(9) Which of the following is not a part of Darwinism:
a. Over production b. Natural selection c. Inheritance for acquired characters (I am 1000% sure about it) d. Competition for survival e. None of these The inheritance of acquired characteristics is a hypothesis that physiological changes acquired over the life of an organism (such as the enlargement of a muscle through repeated use) may be transmitted to offspring. It is also commonly referred to as the theory of adaptation equated with the evolutionary theory of French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck known as Lamarckism. so, it is definitely not a part of Darwinism. natural selection and competition of fittest to hai he. so over production is left. now have a look Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection Darwin's Finches Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands in 1835. There he observed many of the animal species that he had seen on the South American continent. However, he noticed that while the animals resembled the continental species there were distinct variations that made survival on the Galapagos Islands possible. This inspired the Theory of Natural Selection. As he traveled from island to island, Darwin noticed that finches on each island had unique bill adaptations that allowed them to take advantage of the food sources of each island. Darwin proposed that the finches had all arrived on the islands at the same time, presumably as members of the same flock blown off course by a storm. There they were able to survive because within the original group there were bill variations that allowed each finch to establish an ecological niche and take advantage of different ways of life. Finches best suited for survival on each island produced offspring with the same bill variation. Overtime, the finches diverged from the original ancestral finch line and became 14 new finch species. Today, Darwin's finches are found only on the Galapagos Islands with one species on the Cocos Island. They are differentiated from each other by the variations in their bills. What is unusual is that mainland finches are usually distinguished from each other by variations in plumage not body form. There are few bird species on the Galapagos Islands. When the original finches arrived on the islands, they met little competition and were able to exploit the ecological niches available on each island. Ground finches have stout, strong bills that are good for cracking seeds. Tree finches have pointed bills and eat insects from under tree bark. Another type of finch has a woodpecker-like bill that drills into wood for insects. Unlike, the woodpecker, the finch has a short tongue, so it uses a twig to pull out the insect. Some are able to use cactus needles for this purpose. The finches have two main predators: the Galapagos hawk and short-eared owl. With human introduction of domestic cats, the ground finches have been vulnerable to attack from this new predator. For the most part, the finches were able to adapt to the island food supply with little threat from predators. They also developed in isolation. This is a necessary condition for changes to take place that lead to new species. Parts of the Theory I. Variation within a Species In his studies, Darwin noticed that individuals shared characteristics common to a species, but within a species there could be individual variation. These variations are the result of subtle differences in the genes of individuals. Slight changes in the DNA of an individual can occur through mutation. He speculated that while some mutations might be harmful, others might be beneficial and give an organism a selective advantage in survival. II. Overproduction of Offspring Darwin also observed that many species produce far more eggs or seeds than could ever develop into adults and be supported by the ecosystem. For example, a single female horseshoe crab may 100,000 eggs during the breeding season, but only 1 in 130,000 eggs survives to adulthood. Many eggs are lost to predators before they ever hatch. Predators also thin out hatchlings as soon as they reach the ocean waters. Darwin speculated that the overproduction of offspring was necessary to ensure that there would be enough adults to continue the species. III. Struggle for Survival Darwin observed that members of the same species competed for food, water, shelter, space, and mates. Those individuals best suited for survival had an advantage during harsh conditions or competition for scarce necessities. Darwin noticed that on the Galapagos Islands tortoise populations included individuals with long necks and short necks. During times of adequate rainfall, vegetation was available for both types of tortoises. However, in dry conditions, tortoises with long necks were favored for survival since they could reach leaves that were higher off the ground. Therefore, their variation was better adapted to the environmental conditions and led to survival. IV. Natural Selection Finally, individuals whose characteristics were best suited for survival were the most likely to achieve adulthood and reproduce. Through reproduction, the individual's genes were passed onto the next generation. Over time, in isolation, a new species might arise. This is how Darwin explained the 14 different species of finches who were differentiated by their beak type from one another, but who otherwise each strongly resembled an extinct ancestral finch from the South American mainland. This is called adaptive radiation and will be covered in detail in high school biology. source: http://www.angelfire.com/nj3/mrschen/darwin.htm so, please don't rectify a mistake if you yourself have not investigated enough. only guess-work based reasoning doesn't prove fruitful. other candidates can be confused. |

but about that information MCQ, i am not sceptical about fibre optics. I am sure about it. They are most widely used for communication purposes now a days, and light is used in fibre optics. and moreover, wires are not practical for long distances (think globally), and radio waves would be too weak to go so far carrying information. about light being visible, it is a little tricky. Transparent is a medium to allow light pass through it. Light itself cannot be transparent. It is visible to our eye, that is why it is visible in a dark room too! but it is tricky. I can't be sure. |

Thanks alot!
Out of the 6 that I pointed, I was wrong on 3 accounts and so were you. That makes us even

I mistook "Inheritance for acquired characters " for inheritance in general sense of word. As for over production, I distinctly remember not finding this concept anywhere in Darwin's Origins of Species. One would think Darwin would've included this in his book . Nevertheless you are are right about this MCQ. Concerning the means to send information, I was thinking of option "a combination.." because it'd better to lay fiber optic wires locally and for intercontinental communication, some form of radio signals. As for light, the only reason we see objects is because light reflects off of them. Light itself is transparent. It'd be nice to have some source to ascertain this. I gave away the book in which I had read this |
