Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is A thin layer of silicon.

Key Points

• In computers, the chip is made up of a thin layer of silicon.
  • Computer chips are made of silicon, which is a semiconductor, and in order to make the most efficient use of it, chip manufacturers use sand that contains as much silicon as possible.
  • The mineral quartz is ideal for this purpose because its two main components are silicon and oxygen.
  • Silicon is used because it can be used as either an insulator (doesn't allow electricity to flow) or a semiconductor (allows a little flow of electricity).
  • This is important for making chips.
  • It is very, very cheap.
• Hence, option 2 is correct. 

Additional Information

• Silicon is used for electronic devices because it is an element with very special properties.
  • One of its most important properties is that it is a semiconductor.
  • This means that it conducts electricity under some conditions and acts as an insulator under others.
  • It is even the most common element in the Earth's crust. 
• Lady Ada Lovelace invented looping in computer programming​.
  • Lady Ada Lovelace wrote a complete plan describing the algorithm needed to calculate the Bernoulli numbers using two loops, demonstrating the bifurcation capabilities of the analytical machine, describing how to perform trigonometric operations that made use of variables.

Pattern followed is,

D + 6 = J

J + 5 = O

O + 4 = S

S + 3 = V

V + 2 = X

Hence, “O” is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Harmeet Desai.

• Harmeet Desai won the men's singles title at the International Table Tennis Federation Challenge Indonesia Open 2019 Table Tennis Tournament.

Key Points

• The tournament was held in Batam, Indonesia. 
• He also won the Commonwealth championship in July 2019 held in Cuttack, Odisha. 
• He defeated Amalraj Anthony of India.

Additional Information

• Table Tennis:
  • The first match of The Table Tennis World Championship was played in 1927.
  • Table Tennis Association of India was formed in 1938.
  • Terminologies used in Table Tennis are Volley, Late service, Half volley, Backhand, Drive spin, Topspin, Chop, etc.
  • Swaythling Cup, Corbitton Cup, Barna-Bellack Cup, and Ramanujan Trophy are related to table tennis.

i) Point B is 3m North of point A.

ii) Point C is 3m West of point B.

iii) Point D is 5m South of point C.

iv) Point E is 7m East of point D.

Drawing the Diagram as per the given information:

Thus we can se direction of E is South-East with reference to point B.

Hence, the correct is "South-East".

Concept-

• DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid.
• DNA as an acidic substance present in the nucleus was first identified by Friedrich Meischer in 1869.
• He named it ‘Nuclein’.
• DNA acts as the genetic material in most organisms.
• A DNA molecule consisting of all the genetic material of an organism is known as a chromosome.
• These are thread-like (helical) structures of protein and nucleic acids which​ carry all the genetic information in the form of genes.

Explanation-

• ​Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid and is therefore made up of nucleotide.
• Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base (A, T, G, C), and ribose sugar (deoxyribose in case of DNA).
• A nucleoside contains only pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base.
• Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the two types of nucleic acids found in living systems.
• DNA is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.
• The length of DNA is usually defined as the number of nucleotides (or a pair of nucleotides referred to as base pairs) present in it.

Thereby DNA is composed only of nucleic acid.

Additional Information

Lipids: 

• ​These organic compounds are nonpolar molecules, which are soluble only in nonpolar solvents and insoluble in water because water is a polar molecule.
• In the human body, these molecules can be synthesized in the liver and are found in oil, butter, whole milk, cheese, fried foods, and also in some red meats.

Proteins:

• Proteins are composed of amino acids, arranged into different groups.
• These fundamental amino acid sequences are specific and their arrangements are controlled by the DNA. 
• These are the fundamental building blocks of our bodies.
• They are large and complex macromolecules or bio-molecules which perform a major role in the functioning and regulating of our body cells, tissues, and other organs in the human body.​
