In bacteria, additional to the genomic DNA, small circular DNA molecules are present in cytoplasm. These small molecules are called plasmids. They confer unique phenotypic character to bacteria, i.e., resistance to antibiotics. It is also used to monitor bacterial transformation with foreign DNA.
In eukaryotes, the extra DNA molecules are present in chloroplast (stroma) and mitochondria (matrix). Because of the presence of this DNA molecule, they are treated as self autonomous organelles. In case of highly active organism, the DNA extrachromosomal is found to be more as compared to the less active ones.

Assertion: The DNA contents are usually constant in a given species. Reason: DNA replication is of continuous type.

The distance moved by a particle in time from centre of ring under the influence of its gravity is given by x=a sin omegat where a and omega are constants. If omega is found to depend on the radius of the ring (r), its mass (m) and universal gravitation constant (G), find using dimensional analysis an expression for omega in terms of r, m and G.

A block of mass M slides along a horizontal table with speed v_(0) . At x=0 , it hits a spring with spring constant k and begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is variable and is given by mu=bx , where b is a positive constant. Find the loss in mechanical energy when the block has first come momentarily to rest. .

A block of mass m is connected to a spring (spring constant k ). Initially the block is at rest and the spring is in its natural length. Now the system is released in gravitational field and a variable force F is applied on the upper end of the spring such that the downward acceleration of the block is given as a=g-alphat , where t is time elapses and alpha=1m//s^(2) , the velocity of the point of application of the force is:

The transition element ( with few exceptions ) show a large number of oxidation states . The various oxidation states are related to the electronic configuration of their atoms. The variable oxidation states of a transition metal is due to the involvement of (n-1)d and outer ns electrons . For the first five elements of 3d transition series , the minimum oxidation state is equal to the number of electrons in 4s shell and the maximum oxidation state is equal to the sum of 4s and 3d electrons. The relative stability of various oxidation states of a given element can be explained on the basis of stability of d^(0),d^(5) and d^(10) configuration . In which of the following pairs , the first species is more stable than second one

Path traced by a moving particle in space is called trajectory of the particle. Shape of trajectiry is decided by the forces acting on the particle. When a coordinate system is associated with a particle motion, the curve equation in which the particle moves [y=f(x)] is called equation of trajectory. It is just giving us the relation among x and y coordinates of the particle i.e. the locus of particle. To find equation of trajectory of a particle, find first x and y coordinates of the particle as a function of time eliminate the time factor. The position vector of car w.r.t. its starting point is given as vec(r)=at hat(i)- bt^(2) hat(j) where a and b are positive constants. The locus of a particle is:-
