Answer : 2. "Some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring."
Explanation :
Answer: B) Some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring. Explanation: Mutations are accidents in the copying of DNA. A genetic mutation is a random change in the DNA that is passed on further generations of cells and or organisms. Genetic mutations are accidental changes in the DNA in the germ cells or early in the formation of the embryo. These changes if they are in the germ cell will be passed on to other organisms formed by sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction. An example would be the golden delicious apple. A lost of genetic information due to a mutation resulted in a different color of fruit. Genetic mutations that cause diseases are not always passed on to offspring.

Answer : 2. "Myogenic heart"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Myogenic heart Explanation: Hearts are of several types. In some invertebrates the heart is simulated by the nervous system to do its work. Such hearts are called Neurogenic hearts. The Human heart is myogenic. i.e, it recieves the stimuli for contraction from the muscular node called sinu-auricular node or pace maker.

Answer : 1. "Sulphur dioxide"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Sulphur dioxide Explanation: Air pollutants are solid particles, gases, and liquid droplets in the air that can adversely affect ecosystems and the health of humans. Major ambient air pollutants include toxic metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and ozone. Power plants, factories, and vehicle and air traffic are the most important anthropogenic sources of air pollution. In addition, natural sources such as wildfires and volcanic activity contribute to ambient air pollution.

Answer : 1. "There is extensive intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase."
Explanation :
Answer: A) There is extensive intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase. Explanation: Water possess intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase. Hence, the given statement 'There is extensive intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase.' about water is FALSE.

Answer : 2. "Cellulose"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Cellulose Explanation: Carbohydrates are also called as saccharides are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates are: * a source of energy for the body e.g. glucose and a store of energy, e.g. starch in plants * building blocks for polysaccharides (giant carbohydrates), e.g. cellulose in plants and glycogen in the human body * components of other molecules eg DNA, RNA, glycolipids, glycoproteins, ATP Types: 1. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and 2. Disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars. 3. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large called Polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.
