The correct answer is Gangetic Dolphin.

• The Gangetic river dolphin is India's national aquatic animal and is popularly known as ‘Susu’.
• Dolphins are one of the oldest creatures in the world along with some species of turtles, crocodiles, and sharks.
  • The Ganges river dolphin was officially discovered in 1801.
  • Ganges river dolphins once lived in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna and Karnaphuli-Sangu river systems of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. But the species is extinct from most of its early distribution ranges.
  • The Ganges river dolphin can only live in freshwater and is essentially blind.
  • They hunt by emitting ultrasonic sounds, which bounce off of fish and other prey, enabling them to “see” an image in their mind.
  • They are frequently found alone or in small groups, and generally a mother and calf travel together.
  • Calves are chocolate brown at birth and then have grey-brown smooth, hairless skin as adults.
  • Females are larger than males and give birth once every two to three years to only one calf.
• It is among the four freshwater dolphins in the world- the other three are:
  • The ‘Baiji’ now likely extinct from the Yangtze River in China.
  • The ‘Bhutan’ of the Indus in Pakistan
  • The ‘Boto’ of the Amazon River in Latin America.

The correct answer is Fungus.

• The antibiotic penicillin is obtained from a fungus named green mold Penicillium notatum.
• Fleming was the first to experimentally discover that a Penicillium mould secretes an antibacterial substance and the first to concentrate the active substance involved, which he named penicillin in 1928.
• Penicillium mold naturally produces the antibiotic penicillin.

• Oregano oil is one of the most powerful antibacterial essential oils.
• Most of the currently available antibiotics are produced by prokaryotes mainly by bacteria from the genus Streptomyces. 

The correct answer is Beryllium.

• Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl (Be3Al₂(SiO₃)₆ colored green by trace amounts of chromium and/or sometimes vanadium.
• Beryl has a hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale. 
• Emerald is a cyclosilicate.
• Most emeralds are highly included, so their toughness (resistance to breakage) is classified as generally poor. 
• Its color varies from bluish-green to green.

World's Most Famous Gemstones:

• The Hope Diamond 
• Koh-i-Noor.
• The Black Prince's Ruby.
• Star of India.
• Pearl of Lao Tzu.

Rhizobium or azotobacer or azospirillium or blue green algae

Bunt, rust, loose smut.

Breeder seed is a progeny of Nucleus (Foundation/nucleus/certified seed)

The correct answer is Days.

• The Excel DAYS function returns the number of days between two dates.
• With a start date in A1 and an end date in B1, =DAYS(B1, A1) will return the days between the two dates.
• Purpose: Get days between dates.
• Return value:  A number representing days.
• Syntax: =DAYS (end_date, start_date)
• Arguments: 
  • end_date - The end date.
  • start_date - The start date.
• Usage notes: 
  • The DAYS function returns the number of days between two dates.
  • Both dates must be valid Excel dates or text values that can be parsed as dates.
  • The DAYS function only works with whole numbers, fractional time values are ignored.
  • If a start and end date are reversed, DAYS returns a negative number.
  • The DAYS function returns all days between two dates, to calculate working days between dates, see the NETWORKDAYS function.

The correct answer is Turnaround.

• Turnaround time:
  • Operating System(OS) process management, the difference between arrival time and time at which process first gets the CPU is called Turnaround time.
  • Turnaround time is the total amount of time spent by the process from coming in the ready state for the first time to its completion.
  • Turnaround time = Burst time + Waiting time
  • or
  • Turnaround time = Exit time - Arrival time
  • For example, if we take the First Come First Serve scheduling algorithm, and the order of arrival of processes is P1, P2, P3 and each process is taking 2, 5, 10 seconds. Then the turnaround time of P1 is 2 seconds because when it comes at 0th second, then the CPU is allocated to it and so the waiting time of P1 is 0 sec and the turnaround time will be the Burst time only i.e. 2 seconds.
  • The turnaround time of P2 is 7 seconds because the process P2 have to wait for 2 seconds for the execution of P1 and hence the waiting time of P2 will be 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, the CPU will be given to P2 and P2 will execute its task. So, the turnaround time will be 2+5 = 7 seconds. Similarly, the turnaround time for P3 will be 17 seconds because the waiting time of P3 is 2+5 = 7 seconds and the burst time of P3 is 10 seconds. So, the turnaround time of P3 is 7+10 = 17 seconds.
  • Different CPU scheduling algorithms produce different turnaround time for the same set of processes.
  • This is because the waiting time of processes differ when we change the CPU scheduling algorithm.

The correct answer is Insert.

• Insert Tab:
  • The Insert tab holds to add something to a slide.
  • This includes Table, Picture, Clip Art, Photo Album, Shapes, SmartArt, Charts, Hyperlinks, Action, Text box, Header and Footer, WordArt, Date and Time, Slide Number, Symbol, Object, Sound, and Videos.

Isolation of DNA is done by  CTAB method.

The correct answer is Program counter.

• Program Counter:
  • A program counter (PC) is a CPU register in the computer processor which has the address of the next instruction to be executed from memory.
  • It is a digital counter needed for faster execution of tasks as well as for tracking the current execution point.
  • A program counter is also known as an instruction counter, instruction pointer, instruction address register or sequence control register.
  • Similar to other process registers of the computer, the program counter is like a bank of binary latches, with each representing one bit of value.
  • The program counter works in combination with other registers to identify the current instruction.
  • It can be modified or accessed with the help of access or jump instructions.
  • The PC can be accessed/modified by jump and branch instructions.
  • Therefore, the destination address can be loaded to the program counter via branch instructions.
  • The program counter can also be loaded with the address using the data processing instructions.
