A person first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only $A-B$ type of seeds were produced in the $F_1$ generation. When $F_1$ generation pea plants having $A-B$ type of seeds were cross-bred by self-pollination, then in addition to the original round-yellow and wrinkled-green seeds, two new varieties $A-D$ and $C-B$ type of seeds were also obtained.
  1. What are $A-B$ type of seeds$?$
  2. State whether $A$ and $B$ are dominant traits or recessive traits.
  3. What are $A-D$ type of seeds$?$

When a person eats sugary food, then organisms A present in his mouth act on sugar to produce a substance B. The substance B first dissolves the calcium salts from the top part C of the tooth and then from its middle part D forming holes E. These holes ultimately reach the part F in the lower part of tooth which contains nerves and blood vessels. The substance B irritates the nerve endings inside the tooth causing toothache.
  1. What are (i) organisms A, and (ii) substance B?
  2. What are (i) part C, and (ii) part D, of tooth known as?
  3. By what name are the holes E in the tooth known?

Renewable energy is, energy produced from sources that do not deplete or can be replenished within a human’s life time. The most common examples include wind, solar, geothermal, biorhass, and hydroelectric power. This is in contrast to non-renewable sources such as fossil fuels. Most renewable energy is derived directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight can be captured directly using solar technologies. The sun’s heat drives winds, whose energy is captured with turbines. Plants also rely on the sun to grow and their stored energy can be utilized for bioenergy. Not all renewable energy sources rely on the sun. For example, geothermal energy utilizes the Earth’s internal heat, tidal energy relies on the gravitational pull of the moon, and hydroelectric power relies on the flow of water.
Questions and Answers :
(1) What is renewable energy?
(2) Give the examples of renewable energy.
(3) Why will energy from fossil fuel be over soon?
(4) Name the renewable sources of energy which are not dependent on sun. What are they dependent upon?
(5) Which type of energy do we mostly use in India?
