  12. Q1:
    China, where adulteration has occurred, water has been added to raw milk to increase its volume. … The addition of melamine increases the nitrogen content of the milk and therefore its apparent protein content.
    Melamine is a white powder used in plastic-making. … WHY ADD MELAMINE TO MILK POWDER? — Melamine is rich in nitrogen, and relatively cheap. Adding it to sub-standard or watered-down milk makes the milk’s protein level appear higher.

    Q2:
    first Asian nation to reach the Red Planet (Mars), Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called Mangalyaan, India’s first interplanetary mission, ISRO has become the fourth space agency to reach Mars, after the Soviet space program, NASA, and the European Space Agency. India is the first Asian nation to reach Mars orbit, and the first nation in the world to do so in its first attempt

    Waiting for justification of option 2 of question 2. I think only hydrogen can’t indicate life on Mars.

    Q4:
    INSAT-3DR launched after INSAT-3D in 2016 . Read more from Wiki.

    he Sterile Insect Technique

    SIT is a species-specific and environmentally nonpolluting method of insect control that relies on the release of large numbers of sterile insects

    Mating of released sterile males with native females leads to a decrease in the females’ reproductive potential and ultimately, if males are released in sufficient numbers over a sufficient period of time, to the local elimination or suppression of the pest population.

    Tumhari baat main dum hai !!!
    Thanks

  20. thankz aspirant 🙂

  21. Me too 🙂

  22. Closest option you have to choose.
    When H5N1 is given, going for subtype might not be a good idea.

  27. 3/5.
    H and N are two proteins found on the surface of the virus. H stands for hemagglutinin, and N stands for neuraminidase.

    I have searched these on internet –>
    H1N1 virus — Swine flu
    H1N2 virus–H1N2 is a subtype of the influenza A virus, which is also referred to as bird flu.(http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-Influenza-H1N2.aspx)
    H2N2 virus — Asian flu virus
    H5N1 virus–bird flu — avian influenza (this is also bird flu) Now which one to go ???????????

    From Wiki “Soil and rock samples studied in 2013 by NASA’s Curiosity rover’s onboard instruments brought about additional information on several habitability factors.[23] The rover team identified some of the key chemical ingredients for life in this soil, including sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and possibly carbon, as well as clay minerals, “

  44. standard tests for measuring the protein content in food actually measures the level of nitrogen and based on this estimated the level of protein in the food. As melamine is high in nitrogen such tests will interpret this nitrogen content as protein.
