  • Protect and conserve the whole ecosystem
  • Correct Option: D  [ Protect and conserve the whole ecosystem ]

    Remark:

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Restriction endonucleases recognise specific sequence to cut DNA known as palindromic nucleotide sequence.
Statement II: Restriction endonucleases cut the DNA strand a little away from the centre of the palindromic site.

  • Correct Option: B  [ Blood moves freely from atrium to the ventricle during joint diastole. ]

    Remark:

Select the incorrect statement regarding synapses:

[class-xi ]

  • Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across the electrical synapse.
