Question 1 of 8
1. Question
Q1. {Sci – Biotech} Consider the following statements with respect to OTOF Gene:
It decodes the otoferlin protein.
OTOF mutations can cause both profound hearing loss and a type of hearing loss called auditory neuropathy.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are incorrect?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect
The OTOF genemanufactures a protein that plays an important role in transmitting signals from the ear to the brain.
The OTOF gene Encodes the protein otoferlin, which is necessary for the hair cells in the inner ear totransmit information to the nerve that takes the signal to the brain.
Otoferlin is a critical protein at the synapse of auditory sensory cells, the inner hair cells (IHCs).
In the absence of otoferlin, signal transmission of IHCs fails.
Statement 2 is correct
Gene therapies use avirus to insert the OTOF gene into the children’s inner ear so that the hair cells there can sense sound and transmit it to the brain.
OTOF mutations can cause both profound hearing loss and a type of hearing loss called auditory neuropathy.
The OTOF gene mutation the children had is an attractive target for gene therapy because it is a relatively simple condition caused by a single mutation.
It also involves no physical damage to the cochlear cells.

Q5. {S&T – Biotech} Consider the following statements with respect to the Lab Grown Meat:
This method of producing meat is also known as Cellular Agriculture.
In 2020, Israel became the first country to grant permission for the sale of lab-grown meat.
How many of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct
Also known as cultured meat or cell-based meat, lab grown meat is a type of meat produced by in vitro cultivation of animal cells.
These cells are created by cultivating muscle cells, fat cells, and other tissue types in a controlled environment and are given the resources they require to replicate and develop into edible meat.
The process is normally carried out in bioreactors, specialized containers designed to facilitate the cellular cultivation process.
This method of producing meat is also known as Cellular Agriculture due to the methods used.
Statement 2 is incorrect
In 2020, Singapore became the first country to grant permission for the sale of lab-grown meat.
Southeast Asia is at the forefront of the impact of climate change impacts, with recent heatwaves sweeping across the region and food security has become a priority in the region’s agenda. In land-scarce Singapore, the issue is even more acute where its citizens import 90% of the food they consume.

6. Question
Q6. {Envi – Species} Consider the following statements about Eels:
The Eel looks smooth and has scales and gills like other fish.
Eels can be found in both freshwater and saltwater.
The electric eel emits a direct current, and its charge is depleted after a strong shock.
How many of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect
The eel is a very long, snake-like freshwater fish that can grow to over a metre in length.
It looks smooth and lacks the obvious scales and gills of other fish.
To swim, eels generate waves that travel the length of their bodies. To swim backwards, they reverse the direction of the wave.
Statement 2 is correct
Eels can be found in both freshwater and saltwater, with the majority of species found at sea.
Major distribution of eels is in Africa, Asia, Central America, Eurasia, Europe, North America, Ocean, Oceania, and South America.
Few species of eel have also been found in India.
Statement 3 is incorrect
The electric eel, however, emits not a direct current but an alternating current (in pulses), and its charge is depleted after a strong shock. Its electric organ takes some time to recharge. Even so, an encounter with a group of these animals in the water can be quite perilous.
In a recent study, a research group from Nagoya University in Japan found electric eels can release enough electricity to genetically modify small fish larvae.

Q7. {Envi – Species} Consider the following statements:
Black Tiger is a distinct species of tiger native to the Sub-Himalayan range.
In India, Golden Tiger has been spotted in Kaziranga National Park only.
Golden tigers are categorized as ‘Critically Endangered’ in the IUCN Data.
Simlipal Tiger Reserve has the highest number of black tigers in India.
How many of the above statement is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect
Black tigers are not a distinct species but rather a colour variation of the Bengal tiger, which is native to the Indian subcontinent.
Statement 2 is correct
Kaziranga National Park is known as UNESCO World Heritage Site which means it carries out strict actions with regards to providing safeguards to its wide range of wildlife.
And when it comes to Golden tigers it is important to put efforts to protect and conserve these above everything else.
The action taken for protecting the habitat and the wildlife plays a crucial role in the survival of Golden tigers and other species like this creature.
Kaziranga National Park is the only place in India where you can witness this precious type.
In the past also, the Golden Tiger was spottedat the Kaziranga National Park in 2020.
Statement 3 is incorrect
Golden tigers are not a separate subspecies but rather a result of genetic variation within Bengal tigers.
The golden color variation is caused by a genetic recessive gene mutation know as erythrism, where all black on the tiger is replaced by orange or brown.
Golden Tabbies tend to be softer with thicker fur than the normal colour tiger.
As Golden Tiger/Strawberry Tiger is a colour variation of the Bengal tiger and Bengal tigers are classified as Endangered, SoGolden Tigers are also Endangered.
Statement 4 is correct
Currently, Simlipal Tiger Reserve in Odisha has the highest concentration of reported pseudo-melanistic tigers in India.
In Simlipal National Park, 37% of the tiger population has this condition, which has been linked to isolation and inbreeding.
