Explanation

 The oxidation of hypo (chlorous acid) to 1-butanone does not give 1-butanol or 2-chloro-1-butanol, so the correct answer is  None of the above. 

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is an oxidizing agent , but it does not convert 1-butanone (a ketone) back to an alcohol (1-butanol). 

The reaction of HOCl with 1-butene would result in the addition of chlorine and hydroxyl groups to the double bond, forming 2-chloro-1-butanol, not 1-butanol. 

Explanation

 The element that has the same oxidation number in all its compounds is Fluorine. 

Fluorine is the most electronegative element, so it always has an oxidation number of -1 in all its compounds

Explanation

Imprinting is a fascinating example of how both genetic predisposition and environmental factors interact to shape an animal's behavior.

Genetically, young animals are predisposed to form strong attachments during a critical period early in life.

However, the specific object they imprint on (usually their mother) is entirely determined by their environment during this sensitive window.

If a duckling is separated from its mother and exposed to a human shortly after hatching, it will imprint on the human and follow it around instead.

This demonstrates how a genetically programmed behavior (imprinting) is shaped by the specific environmental stimuli encountered during a critical developmental period. 

Explanation

 The pattern of sex determination found in Drosophila is b. XY–XX. 

In Drosophila, females have two X chromosomes (XX) 

While males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY). 

Explanation

The correct way to write units is to use the SI (International System of Units) standard

Where the symbols for units named after persons are capitalized, and the symbols for other units are lowercase.

Therefore, the correct option is d. 43 kg m³. 

Explanation

Pinocytosis:

This term means "cell drinking" and refers to the process where a cell engulfs small amounts of extracellular fluid and dissolved substances. 

Explanation

The device that can be used for precise measurement of wavelength is a Michelson Interferometer. 

A Michelson interferometer uses the interference of light waves to measure very small distances, including wavelengths, with high accuracy. 

Explanation

Alkaline earth metals: These elements have two valence electrons in their outermost s orbital.

3rd period: In the third period, the outermost shell is the 3rd shell. 

Therefore, the electronic configuration of an alkaline earth metal in the 3rd period is [Ne] 3s².

Explanation

The x-axis of the graph likely shows Substrate concentration. 

Many enzyme-related graphs depict the relationship between substrate concentration and reaction rate.

The substrate concentration is typically plotted on the x-axis, as it's the independent variable being manipulated to observe its effect on the enzyme activity.

Increasing substrate concentration generally leads to an increased reaction rate until the enzyme becomes saturated. 

Explanation

Nitrogen fixation refers to the process of converting atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into a usable form for plants.

This can happen through several methods: 

Atmospheric fixation:

• This occurs naturally when lightning strikes, breaking the strong nitrogen-nitrogen triple bond and creating nitrogen oxides that can dissolve in rainwater.

Industrial fixation:

• This involves using high-temperature and pressure processes, like the Haber-Bosch process, to convert nitrogen into ammonia.
• This method is crucial for industrial agriculture. 

Biological fixation:

• This process is carried out by certain bacteria, such as those found in the root nodules of legumes (like peas and beans), or free-living bacteria in the soil.
• These bacteria can break down the nitrogen molecule and convert it into ammonia or other usable nitrogen compounds.
