It is very simple in fishes but it is of comp­lex type in birds and mammals. Image Source: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.comIn fishes the heart is two chambered but sinus venosus and conus arteriosus are also found attached to the heart. Blood from the tissues enters a sinus venosus through the veins. ADVERTISEMENTS: It passes through a sinu-auricular aperture to the auricle, a relatively thin-walled but large chamber, thence it is propelled through auriculo-ventricular valve to the ventricle.Vigrous ventricular con­traction forces the blood into the bulbous (or conus) arteriosus through a third set of valves. In elasmobranchi and dipnoi fishes there are several sets of valves…

Due to the following reasons, Mendel selected garden pea for his experiment:(i) Garden pea flowers are normally self-pollinated but can be easily cross-pollinated (Hybridized), its self-pollination is prevented.(ii) Many varieties with distinguished contrasting characters e.g., smooth seed coat, wrinkled seed coat.

Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. There is enormous energy in the bonds that hold atoms together. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity. But first the energy must be released. It can be released from atoms in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.i. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy.ii. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity. Image Source: greenoptimistic.com Nuclear Fuel Uranium: ADVERTISEMENTS: The fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission is uranium.…

The Main Processes followed by the Commercial Banks for Credit Creation are mentioned below: (i) Under Monopoly Bank or Single Bank System: To begin with, let the Cash Reserve Ratio (R) be 20%. Further, let the initial deposit (Primary Deposit, PD) made with a commercial bank by depositor ‘A’ be Rs 10,000.

PD) and lends out the rest, Rs 8000 [(1 – R) % of PD = (1 – r).PD] to the borrower. Image Source: askright.com ADVERTISEMENTS: Here, r = fl/100. The loan amount of Rs 8000…

Just like no two person’s fingerprints are identical in this world, each of us is born with a distinct individuality. In some way or the other, each of us is unique and special. Is this not something to be happy about, something to celebrate? Is this not a reflection of the immense variety that lends spice and colour to life? Should this not be the goal of one’s existence—to discover, nurture, and promote the distinct genius if you will, that each of us possesses?Does that sound like one is ignoring the rest of all mankind to lead a petty, isolated existence? This may seem like a paradox, but I believe that when someone serves one’s own interests, one automatically contributes to the collective welfare. The fragrance of a flower does…
