Read the following lines and answer question on the basis of the same:Testing for COVID-19 using PCRThe objective of COVID-19 testing is to identify part of the corona viral genome in the patient sample. As, there is insufficient viral RNA to detect directly in the patient sample, a process called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is used for amplification. Short single stranded pieces of DNA called primers recognize unique RNA sequences within the viral genome. When double-stranded DNA copy of the target region of the viral RNA is produced, it undergoes successive rounds of amplification during which the DNA undergoes denaturation. Two primers anneal to their target sequences and then Taq polymerase extends a new strand. The number of copies of the target region of the viral genome doubles with each cycle. In practice, the virus is typically detected in 35 cycles of PCR, after which the number of DNA copies produced will be 235. PCR based diagnosis is faster, safer and more specific because it does not use live pathogens.(i) The sequence of steps in PCR is- (a) Denaturation, annealing, extension (b) Annealing, denaturation, extension (c) Extension, annealing, denaturation (d) Denaturation, extension, annealing(ii) A primer is- (a) short ss piece of DNA (b) short ds piece of DNA (c) short ds piece of RNA (d) Either (b) or (c)(iii) After n cycles, the number of DNA copies produced are- (a) n2(b) 2n(c) n x 2(d) n ÷ 2(iv) Taq DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA at a temperature of around 700 C as it is- (a) thermophilic (b) thermostable (c) thermoregulator (d) thermolabile(v) Culture based approaches for detecting pathogens, as compared to PCR based assays area) are-(a) Faster, safer but less specific (b) Slower but safer and more specific(c) Slower, less safer and less specific (d) Slower, less safer but more specific. |

Read the following lines and answer question on the basis of the same:Tissue Culture in Rose PropagationIn January 2014, an experiment was conducted to explore the intricacies of in vitro propagation of Rosa hybrida from explants. The purpose was to determine the proper basal medium and growth regulators for these tissue culture techniques. Plant hormones play a pivotal role in growth and differentiation of cultured cells and tissues. An acidic pH is also very important. There are several types of media like MS, LS, B5 and Nitsch's medium, and the choice of media is dictated by the plant species, variety or plant part. However, the most extensively used nutrient medium is MS medium, which was developed by Murashige and Skoog in 1962. Rosa hybrida L. species are propagated around the world, using seed propagation, micropropagation, stem cuttings, budding, grafting, and even tissue culture. To increase the productivity of roses, somatic hybridization is also thought of.(i) To enhance the productivity through micropropagation, which medium is generally used.(a) MS medium (b) LS (c) B5 (d) Nitsch's medium(ii) An optimum pH is very important in plant cell tissue culture. It is usually: (a) 8.7 (b) 7.7 (c) 9.7 (d) 5.7(iii) In order to enhance the productivity of rose plants, which of the following could be an effective strategy?

What are the temperature and humidity maintained in an OT?(a) T = 20 – 26 ℃, H = 20% – 30% air exchanges = 7 – 8 per hour(b) T = 18 – 22 ℃, H = 40% – 50% air exchanges = 10 – 12 per hour(c) T = 10 – 12 ℃, H = 10% – 30% air exchanges = 9 – 10 per hour(d) T = 30 – 35 ℃, H = 50% – 60% air exchanges = 15 – 20 per hour |
|
Answer» Correct option is (b) T = 18 – 22 ℃, H = 40% – 50% air exchanges = 10 – 12 per hour Best explanation: An OT is normally cool without being cold. The humidity and temperature need to be maintained so that the body does not go into any other kind of shock. Once under anaesthesia, the normal functions like homeostasis of the body can also get disrupted thus an external maintenance is needed. It is important for fresh air to keep circulating in the room so that the risk of infection goes down. The number of exchanges can’t be too high to avoid cooling nor can they be too low or else infectious particles may settle down. |
