Ans (d)) Pleiotropy
Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than one pair of chromosomes. It occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two paired (homologous) set of chromosome founds that controls more than one characters simultaneously.
Apomixis is the process of asexual reproduction in which the embryo grows from egg cells without being fertilized.
Polytene is a giant chromosomes found in some two-winged flies.
Pleiotropy occurs when a single gene influences multiple phenotypic traits.
Ans (c) 23 Let a = speak one language Let b = speak two languages Let c = speak three languages then: a+2b+3c = 6+15+6 a+4+3 = 27 a = 20 Total number of persons in the group = 20+2+1 = 23
Ans (c) 23
Let a = speak one language
Let b = speak two languages
Let c = speak three languages
then:
a+2b+3c = 6+15+6
a+4+3 = 27
a = 20
Total number of persons in the group = 20+2+1 = 23

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 ………
As the given series contains 1,2,3,4,5,…alphabets from the beginning. It started with the first alphabet of the series, then the first two alphabets, then the first three alphabets, and so on.
Up to to 13th term, the number of alphabets = [n(n+1)]/2
= [13 (13+1)]/2 = [13 (14)]/2 = 13×7 = 91
Again, the series will start with the A alphabet (92nd position).
So the 100th alphabet will be ‘I’.

The Climate Action Tracker (CAT) is an independent scientific analysis produced by two research organisations tracking climate action.
A collaboration of two organisations, Climate Analytics and NewClimate Institute, the CAT has been providing this independent analysis to policymakers since 2009.
It tracks progress towards the globally agreed “Paris Agreement” aim of holding warming well below ‘2°C’ and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C
