After the first polaroid, \( I = \frac{I_0}{2} \). After the second at \( 15^\circ \), \( I = \frac{I_0}{2} \cos^2 15^\circ \).

\( \cos 15^\circ \approx 0.966 \), \( I = \frac{I_0}{2} \times (0.966)^2 = \frac{I_0}{2} \times 0.933 \approx 0.467 I_0 \approx \frac{I_0}{2} \) (approx.).

\( E = h v = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 7.5 \times 10^{14} = 4.9725 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).

\( E = \frac{4.9725 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 3.108 \, \text{eV} \).

\( K_{\max} = e V_0 = 0.9 \, \text{eV} \).

\( \phi_0 = E - K_{\max} = 3.108 - 0.9 \approx 2.208 \, \text{eV} \).

Given: \( r = 8 \, \text{cm} \), \( V_0 = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times 8^3 = \frac{2048}{3} \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \), \( \Delta T = 20 - 70 = -50^\circ \text{C} \), \( \alpha_l = 1.9 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{K}^{-1} \).

\( \alpha_v = 3 \alpha_l = 3 \times 1.9 \times 10^{-5} = 5.7 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{K}^{-1} \).

\( \Delta V = V_0 \alpha_v \Delta T = \frac{2048}{3} \pi \times 5.7 \times 10^{-5} \times (-50) \).

\( \Delta V = \frac{2048}{3} \pi \times (-2.85 \times 10^{-3}) \approx -6.12 \pi \approx -19.22 \, \text{cm}^3 \) (decrease of \( 19.22 \, \text{cm}^3 \)).

\( \omega^2 = (2\pi)^2 = 4\pi^2 \).

\( F = 0.5 \times 4\pi^2 \times 1 \approx 19.74 \, \text{N} \).

Since \( 19.74 \, \text{N} < 50 \, \text{N} \), maximum tension possible here is \( 50 \, \text{N} \) (breaking limit).

ATP is a nucleotide, not a protein, and does not act as an enzyme.

GEAC regulates the use, research, and approval of genetically modified organisms in India.

Fermentation of alcohol is a natural microbial process and does not necessarily involve recombinant DNA technology.

The wrist joint is a condyloid joint that allows movement in two planes.

The upregulation of oxytocin receptors in the uterine muscle (myometrium) enhances sensitivity to oxytocin, triggering labor.

Synovial joints have a fluid-filled synovial cavity that allows movement.

Androgens, including testosterone, are mainly produced by Leydig cells located in the interstitial tissue of the testes.

Dialysis is a medical procedure used to artificially filter blood in patients with kidney failure.

Progestogen in oral contraceptive pills suppresses ovulation, making pregnancy unlikely.

The clavicle is a long bone that connects the shoulder blade to the sternum.

IgE antibodies trigger allergic reactions by binding to mast cells and causing histamine release.

ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol, which helps in metabolism and stress response.

Restriction enzymes recognize specific palindromic sequences in DNA and cut at those sites.

Lymph helps in the absorption of fats from the small intestine through lacteals.

Chemoreceptors detect levels of CO₂, O₂, and H⁺ in the blood to regulate respiration.

The counter-current mechanism involving the Loop of Henle and vasa recta helps in concentrating urine by maintaining an osmolarity gradient.

Natural selection favors individuals with advantageous traits, allowing them to survive and reproduce.

Typhoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi, which spreads through contaminated food and water.

Annelids move by contracting longitudinal and circular muscles along with the help of setae (bristles) for traction.

Chaperone proteins assist in the proper folding of newly synthesized proteins.

The lymphatic system helps filter lymph and plays a key role in immune response.

Molecular diagnostics are used for early detection of diseases by identifying genetic material from pathogens.

Biopiracy involves unauthorized exploitation of biological resources and does not promote fair trade.

Copper-T (Cu-T) is an intrauterine device that releases copper ions to reduce sperm motility and prevent fertilization.

Adenine is a purine, characterized by a two-ring structure, while thymine, cytosine, and uracil are pyrimidines.

Reverse transcriptase synthesizes complementary DNA (cDNA) from an mRNA template, a key step in cloning eukaryotic genes.

Cnidoblasts (stinging cells) in cnidarians are used for defense and capturing prey by injecting toxins.

Pharyngeal gill slits are a defining characteristic of chordates, present in some stage of their development.

Hemoglobin contains **iron**, which binds to oxygen for transport in the blood.

Frogs use cutaneous respiration through their skin to exchange gases in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid with no double bonds in its hydrocarbon chain.

Biopiracy refers to unauthorized exploitation, not fair trade, of biological resources, often leading to unfair patents.

Thorns of Bougainvillea and tendrils of Cucurbita are homologous structures derived from the same ancestral organ but adapted for different functions.

The tetanus vaccine is a toxoid vaccine, meaning it contains an inactivated toxin to stimulate immunity.

The sodium-potassium pump maintains the resting membrane potential by actively transporting Na⁺ out and K⁺ into the neuron.

Progesterone maintains uterine quiescence (prevents contractions) throughout pregnancy until labor begins.

The withdrawal of estrogen and progesterone levels, when fertilization does not occur, leads to the shedding of the endometrium (menstruation).

The kidneys filter nitrogenous waste from the blood and help maintain osmoregulation.
