CO₂ is not considered as pollutant agent of air.

The multipurpose project built over River Satluj is Bhakra Nangal.

This project has led to the development of the country in the following ways.

• The area under irrigation is increased as ample amount of water is released from the dam.
• It has also been successful in harnessing electricity at a large scale.

Water is a very important and critical resource in India. The following points support this statement.

• Water resources are a significant part of the ecological cycle, which enable the existence of all living beings on the earth.
• Water resources help to carry out several agricultural and agriculture-related activities, thus playing a major role in the development of agricultural production.
• Water also contributes significantly to the development of industry as it supplies water to various water-based and power-based industries.

The following are the reasons for water scarcity in India.

•  Increased demand for water: The growing population needs more water for domestic purposes and to produce more food. 
• Agricultural purposes: For agricultural purposes, water resources are being over-exploited. More food needs to be grown for the increasing population.  
• Intensive industrialisation and urbanisation: The increasing number of industries ‘ need more water and power to run the machinery. Hydroelectric power contributes twenty-two per cent of the electricity produced. The urban centres with large population and modern lifestyles have added to the problem of water scarcity. 
• Over-exploitation of water resources: In some cities, housing societies have their own groundwater pumping devices to meet their needs. This has caused the depletion of water resources in several areas. 
• Bad quality of water: The water is getting polluted by domestic and industrial wastes, chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

The correct answer is Gujarat.

• The origin of the Hallisaka dance is traced to the Harivamsa Purana.
• It is a form of group dance, which is performed by both males and females.

Correct option is D) clear

Correct option is A) sack

(a). Cotton bollworm attacks cotton crops and causes lot of damage to the crop. 

B. thuringiensis forms protein crystals (during a particular phase of their growth). These crystals contain a toxic insecticidal protein. The Bt toxin protein exist as inactive protoxins but once an insect ingest the inactive toxin, it is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkaline pH of the gut which solubilise the crystal. The activated toxin binds to the surface of midgut epithelial cells and create pores, that cause cell swelling and lysis and eventually cause death of the insect.

(b). crylAb controls corn borer

Follicular phase: Between 7^th -14^th day of the menstrual cycle, the primary follicles in the ovary grow to become a fully mature Graafian follicle, and simultaneously the endometrium of uterus regenerates through proliferation (which are induced by changes in the levels of pituitary and ovarian hormones) 

• Luteal phase: Between 14^th -28^th day of the (menstrual) cycle, during which the remaining parts of the Graafian follicle transform as the corpus luteum, the corpus luteum secretes large amounts of progesterone which is essential for maintenance of the endometrium (Such an endometrium is necessary for implantation of the fertilised ovum and other events of pregnancy) 
• The secretion of gonadotropins (LH and FSH) increases during the follicular phase, and stimulates follicular development as well as secretion of estrogens by the growing follicles, both LH and FSH attain a peak level in the middle of cycle (about 14^th day), rapid secretion of LH leading to (its maximum level during the mid-cycle called LH surge induces) rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation)

Biogas typically refers to a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically), primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste, Major component of CNG is methane, the other components present are: ethane, propane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and traces of water.

The fruit formation takes place other than ovary is known as false fruit. In apple, the fruit is formed by thalamus, so it is a false fruit.

Placenta is the structural and functional unit formed between the developing embryo and the maternal body to facilitate exchange of materials between the foetus and mother's body.

In tubectomy, the surgical intervention blocks the transport of ova and hence the conception; so it is considered a contraceptive method.

Snapdragon (Antirrhinum sps) shows incomplete dominance in the inheritance of its flower colour.

(i) AUG codes for amino acid, methionine 

(ii) It is the initiation codon, i.e. initiates translation.

Diacetylmorphine

Salivary amylase is an enzyme in saliva in our mouth. Mastication or chewing, activates the saliva, salivary amylase is a digestive enzyme that acts on starch in food, breaking it down into smaller carbohydrate molecules. These enzymes also play a role in breaking down food particles entrapped within dental crevices, thus, protecting teeth from bacterial decay.

Since plasmids can replicate within the bacterial cell independently of the genomic DNA, any alien DNA ligated to it will also multiply, i.e. it is used as a vector as well as in gene cloning.

Rhizobium bacterium is a symbiont. 

It fixes atmospheric nitrogen as nitrogen compounds in the root nodules of leguminous plants.

The process of peristalsis is controlled by the medulla oblongata. The muscularis externa is responsible for segmental contractions and peristaltic movement in digestive tube. These muscles cause food to move and churn together with digestive enzymes down the tube. The muscularis externa consists of an inner circular layer and a longitudinal outer muscular layer. That is how digestive tube is adapted for the function of peristaltic movements.

The inner lining of the small intestine has numerous finger-like projections called villi which increase the surface area for absorption.

Goat because herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow the cellulose to be digested.

Ozone layer protects us from harmful effects of UV radiation.

BRASS yellow metal is an alloy of copper and zinc.

 Identify the type of structure. Hungry Horse, Yellowtail, Dworshak, Don Pedro, Cougar, Glen Canyon, Grand Coulee and Hoover its called DAMS

(c) Cobalt-60 is useful as a gamma ray source because it can be produced in predictable quantity and high activity by bombarding cobalt with neutrons. This is commonly used in radiation therapy for treatment of cancer.

MSH – MELANOCYTES.

Phenotypic adaptation involves changes in the body of an organism in response to genetic mutation or certain environmental changes. These responsive adjustments occur in an organism in order to cope with environmental conditions present in their natural habitats. For example, desert plants have thick cuticles and sunken stomata on the surface of their leaves to prevent transpiration. Similarly, elephants have long ears that act as thermoregulators.
