Scientists have identified about 1.4 million single nucleotide polymorphs in human genome. How is the information of their existence going to help the scientists?

A scientist has come across a plant which he feels is a new species. How will he go about its identification, classification and nomenclature.

Upon irradiating californium with neutrons, a scientist discovered a new nuclide having mass number of 250 and a half-life of 30 min. After 90 min. of irradiation, the observed radioactivity due to nuclied was 100 dis/min. How many atoms of the nucliede were prepared intially? a) 2.4xx10^(4) b) 3.46xx10^(4) c) 1900 d) 800

How has the study of fossils helped in convincing scientists that organisms have come into existence through evolution?

From the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by elimination method : In an examination the ratio of passes to failures was 4:1. Had 30 less appeared and 20 less passed, the ratio of passes to failures would have been 5:1. How many students appeared for the examination ?

Form the pair of linear equations In the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by any algebraic method. :- Yash scored 40 marks in a test, getting 3 marks for each right answer and losing 1 mark for each wrong answer. Had 4 marks been awarded for each correct answer and 2 marks been deducted for each incorrect answer, then Yash would have scored 50 marks. How many questions were there in the test ?

Street Plan : A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are about 5 streets in each direction. Using 1 cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent roads/ streets by single lines. There are many cross-streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : the 2^(nd) street running in the North -South direction and 5^(th) in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this crossstreet (2, 5). Using this convention find : how many cross-streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
