Question Discussion & Solution

The Correct Answer is Cytokinin.

Key Points

• Cytokinins are a class of plant growth substances (phytohormones) that promote cell division or cytokinesis in plant roots and shoots.
• There are two types of Cytokinins: Adenine-type Cytokinins represented by Zeatin, Kinetin and 6-Benzylaminopurine and Phenylurea-type Cytokinins like Diphenylurea and Thidiazuron (TDZ).

Key Points 

• Auxins are a class of plant hormones with some morphogen-like characteristics. Auxins play a cardinal role in the coordination of many growths and behavioural processes in plant life cycles and are essential for plant body development.
• Abscisic acid is a plant hormone. ABA functions in many plant developmental processes, including seed and bud dormancy, the control of organ size and stomatal closure.
• Gibberellins are plant hormones that regulate various developmental processes, including stem elongation, dormancy, germination, flowering, flower development and leaf and fruit senescence.

 Additional Information 

The correct answer is Spinning.

• The process of making thread from the fibre is called Spinning.

Key Points

• Spinning is the process done as a major part of the textile industries.
  • It is the manufacturing process for creating polymer fibres.
  • In the Spinning process, fibres are drawn and twisted from the cotton mass which brings them together to form a yarn
• Ring, Rotor, Air Jet are the different types of spinners used in the textile industries.

Additional Information

• Weaving is a method of textile production in which two different sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.
• Ginning is the process of removing the seeds and debris from cotton.

Explanation:

• Bacteria are the sole members of the Kingdom Monera. They are the most abundant micro-organisms.
• On the basis of origin, bacteria can be divided into two types - Archaebacteria & Eubacteria

Archaebacteria:

• These bacteria are special since they live in some of the harshest habitats such as extreme salty areas (halophiles), hot springs (thermoacidophiles) and marshy areas (methanogens).
• Archaebacteria differ from other bacteria in having a different cell wall structure and this feature is responsible for their survival in extreme conditions.
• For example - Methanogens are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals.

Additional Information 

Eubacteria:

• There are thousands of different eubacteria or ‘true bacteria’.
• They are characterised by the presence of a rigid cell wall, and if motile, a flagellum.
• The Eubacteria can be both autotrophic & heterotrophic.

Key Points

• Gramin Gaurav Path is a major road construction program started by the state Government of Rajasthan and is implemented by Public Works Department (PWD). 
• Under the Gramin Gaurav Path project, the government aims to construct main Gram Panchayat roads in 33 districts in the Rajasthan state.
