    • A.

      Only be expressed in males whose mothers were a carrier of the gene

    • B.

      Never be passed from father to child

    • C.

      Show a pattern of skipping generations in a family

    • D.

      Be passed only from father to son

    Correct Answer
    D. Be passed only from father to son
    Explanation
    A disorder linked to the Y chromosome in humans (holandric) will be passed only from father to son. This is because the Y chromosome is only present in males and is passed down from father to son. Females do not have a Y chromosome, so they cannot inherit or pass on disorders linked to it. Therefore, only males who receive the Y chromosome from their father will inherit the disorder.

    If absolute temperature of a gas is doubled and the pressure is reduced to one half the volume of gas will

    • A.

      Remain unchanged

    • B.

      Increases four times

    • C.

      Reduce to four times

    • D.

      Be double

    Correct Answer
    B. Increases four times
    Explanation
    When the absolute temperature of a gas is doubled, according to Charles's Law, the volume of the gas will also double, assuming the pressure remains constant. However, in this question, it states that the pressure is reduced to one half. According to Boyle's Law, when the pressure of a gas is reduced, the volume of the gas will increase. So, when the pressure is reduced to one half, the volume will increase by two times. Therefore, when both the temperature is doubled and the pressure is reduced to one half, the volume of the gas will increase by a total of four times. Hence, the correct answer is "increases four times".

  • 13. 

    Hydrocarbons which generally have high molecular masses exist

    • A.

      Solid form

    • B.

      Liquid form

    • C.

      Vapour form

    • D.

      Gaseous form

    Correct Answer
    A. Solid form
    Explanation
    Hydrocarbons with high molecular masses exist in solid form because the intermolecular forces between their molecules are stronger. These forces, such as London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding, hold the molecules together in a solid lattice structure. As the molecular size and complexity increase, so does the strength of these intermolecular forces. Therefore, hydrocarbons with high molecular masses have a greater tendency to exist in a solid state rather than in a liquid or gaseous form.

    The velocity of photon is

    • A.

      Independent of its wavelength

    • B.

      Depends on its wavelength

    • C.

      Equal to square of its amplitude

    • D.

      Depends on its source

    Correct Answer
    A. Independent of its wavelength
    Explanation
    The velocity of a photon is independent of its wavelength. This is because the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and does not change with the wavelength of the photon. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second, regardless of the wavelength of the photon. Therefore, the velocity of a photon remains constant and is not affected by its wavelength.

    The nature of cathode rays remains the same irrespective of the material used for

    • A.

      Gas

    • B.

      Cathode

    • C.

      Glass

    • D.

      Electrode

    Correct Answer
    D. Electrode
    Explanation
    The nature of cathode rays remains the same irrespective of the material used for the electrode. This is because cathode rays are composed of high-speed electrons that are emitted from the cathode, regardless of the material it is made of. The properties and behavior of these electrons, such as their charge and ability to be deflected by electric and magnetic fields, are independent of the material of the electrode. Therefore, changing the material of the electrode does not affect the nature or characteristics of the cathode rays.

    Which of the hydrogen halides has the highest percentage of ionic character

    • A.

      HF

    • B.

      HBr

    • C.

      HCl

    • D.

      HI

    Correct Answer
    A. HF
    Explanation
    HF has the highest percentage of ionic character among the hydrogen halides. This is because fluorine is the most electronegative element, meaning it has a strong ability to attract electrons towards itself. As a result, the bond between hydrogen and fluorine in HF is highly polar, with the electron being pulled closer to the fluorine atom. This large difference in electronegativity leads to a significant separation of charge, resulting in a high percentage of ionic character in HF.

    The bond between H–H is

    • A.

      Stronger than the bond between H–Cl

    • B.

      Weaker than the bond between H–Cl

    • C.

      Neither stronger nor weaker than the bond between H–Cl

    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    B. Weaker than the bond between H–Cl
    Explanation
    The bond between H-H is weaker than the bond between H-Cl. This is because hydrogen is less electronegative than chlorine, meaning that it has a weaker attraction for electrons. As a result, the shared electrons in the H-H bond are less strongly attracted to either hydrogen atom, leading to a weaker bond. In contrast, the bond between H-Cl is stronger because chlorine is more electronegative, causing the shared electrons to be more strongly attracted to the chlorine atom.

    • A.

      Positive acceleration

    • B.

      Negative acceleration

    • C.

      Uniform velocity

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    A. Positive acceleration
    Explanation
    When the slope of a velocity-time graph gradually increases, it indicates that the velocity of the body is increasing over time. This means that the body is moving with positive acceleration. Positive acceleration occurs when an object's velocity increases, either by speeding up or changing direction. Therefore, the correct answer is positive acceleration.

    During projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity:

    • A.

      Changes with time

    • B.

      Becomes zero

    • C.

      Remains constant

    • D.

      Increases with time

    Correct Answer
    C. Remains constant
    Explanation
    During projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant. This is because there is no horizontal force acting on the projectile once it is in motion. The only force acting on the projectile is gravity, which only affects the vertical component of velocity. Therefore, the horizontal velocity remains unchanged throughout the motion, resulting in a constant horizontal component of velocity.

    • D.

      Neither change in K.E nor change in its P.E

    Correct Answer
    A. Change in its K.E always
    Explanation
    When work is done on a body, it results in a change in its kinetic energy (K.E). This is because work is defined as the transfer of energy, and when work is done on an object, it transfers energy to the object, which can increase its kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct answer is that the change in its K.E always equals the work done on the body.

    • A.

      10 J

    • B.

      20 J

    • C.

      200 J

    • D.

      2000 J

    Correct Answer
    C. 200 J
    Explanation
    The work done by a force is given by the equation W = F*d, where W is the work done, F is the force applied, and d is the distance moved in the direction of the force. In this case, a force of 10N is applied parallel to the direction of motion for a distance of 20m. Therefore, the work done is calculated as 10N * 20m = 200 J.

    • C.

      Infrared waves

    • D.

      Ultraviolet waves

    Correct Answer
    A. Microwaves
    Explanation
    Microwaves are used as a medium in satellite communication systems because they have the ability to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere and are not easily absorbed by water molecules or other atmospheric gases. This makes them ideal for long-distance communication as they can travel through the atmosphere and space without significant loss of signal strength. Microwaves also have a shorter wavelength compared to radio waves, allowing for higher data transmission rates. Additionally, microwaves can be focused into narrow beams, which helps in directing the signal towards the satellite and reducing interference from other sources.
