In an experiment done by Griffith it was found that when virulent capsulated smooth 'S' bacteria were injected into healthy mice, the mice dies of pneunomia. When mice were injected with non virulent 'R' forms of same bacteria, they survived and did not die to pneumonia. in another case when S-forms were killed by heating at above 60^(@)C and injected, rats did not get pneumonia, but when killed, s-forms and R-forms of bacteria were mixed and injected, the rats suffered from pneumonia and died. which one of the following conclusions can be drawn from the above experiment?

Go though the following statements (i) Meselson & stahl used cesium chloride density gradient to distinguish heavy DNA molecules from the normal DNA molecules. (ii) In meselson & Stahl experiment the DNA that was extracted from the culture one generation after the transfer from .^(15)N to .^(14)N , was composed of equal amount of hybrid (intermediate) DNA and of light DNA. (iii) In prokaryotes, control f the rate of transcriptional initiation is the predominant site for control of gene expression. (iv) In lac operon, the repressor is synthesised only at the time when the level of metabolite is in excess. Find out the correct statements?

In an ideal crystal, the entropy of the constituents at absolute zero temperature (0K) is zero. However, the crystals generally suffer from certain defects also called imperfections They may be both electronic and atomic in nature. The atomic imperfections may be stoichiometric (Schottky and Frenkel defects) or non-stoichiometric (metal excees and metal deficiency defects). In addition to these, there are impurity defects which are caused by the addition of certain impurities of metals and this is known as dopping. The dopping leads to semi conductors which may be either n-type or p-type in nature. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is white when cold and yellow when hot. It is due to the development of :

Alkali metals on combustion in excess of air form different type of oxides depending on the size of metal cations e.g . lithium forms mainly the oxide Li_2O , sodium forms peroxide and some super oxides NaO_2 and potassium, Rubidium and caesium form the superoxides, MO_2 . The stability of peroxide and superoxide increases, as the size of the metal cation increases because of the stabilisation of larger anion by larger cations through lattice energy effect. These oxides are easily hydrolysed by water. The oxides and the peroxides are colourless when pure, but the superoxides are yellow or orange in colour. Peroxide and superoxide of sodium and potassium are widely used as oxidising agent and as air purifier in space capsules, submarines and breathing mask. When sodium reacts with excess of oxygen at 350^@ C , the oxidation number of oxygen per atom changes from:
