 The theory of the DNA code leads to important expectations regarding teh
feasibility of technological control over inheritance. If the nucleotide
sequence of DNA were indeed a self – sufficient source of the inherited
specificity of living things, then it might be possible in the not too distant
future, to synthesize artificial DNA molecules, which on being introduced
into living organisms would artificially establish new inheritable
characteristics quite outside the range of those normally observed.

The "Bootstrap Universe" theory suggests that the unique properties of the
atomic nucleus are inherently associated with its complexity, and are not
accountable by the observed properties of fragments isolated from disrupted
nuclei.

It may be suggested that if biology is to be guided by the insights into the

properties of matter that are afforded by modern physical theory, the role of
DNA in the living cell must be viewed as subsumed under the complex
properties of the system – the living cell – of which functional DNA is a part.

The theory of the DNA code is epitomized by the statements "DNA is the
secret of life' an aphorism which appears increasingly to guide the course of
current biological investigations. The view point developed here suggests
that biology might be more wisely guided by the aphorism "Life is the secret
of DNA".

26. Make a precis of the following paragraph:

The Great War of 1914 which lasted for nearly, 1,565 days had far – reaching
consequences. It was different from the wars that preceded it. In all previous
conflicts between states, the armies of the belligerents fought and engaged
themselves in the unproductive activity of organized destruction. But the
first world war was the first war of its kind in which all the resources of the
countries involved were mobilized. It was not merely a clash of contending
armies, it was "Total War". Judging from its results

War between States, the Franco-Prussian War, the Boer War, the Russo-
Japanese War, and the Balkan Wars. Equally damaging were the monetary
cost of the battles and the loss in property. According to a rough calculation
the cost of the war in terms of money for all the belligerents was 186 million
dollars. The war resulted in the economic exhaustion of Europe.

struggle to improve the lives of children. second, the international

29. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
Education is the recurrent request of Indian women. One village women said

to browse the net, Google and look for more information. One doesn't need a
teacher or a library. Information boom and knowledge boom is of such
extent that one only needs to make up one's mind and self empowerment is
right around the corner. It is now in the hands of the women to make the
best use of their opportunities. Their fundamental requirement however is to
obtain basic education.

Super glue is polymer of methyl-cyanoacrylate. Because the monomer has two
election-withdrawing groups, it requires only a moderately good neculeophile to
initiate anionic polymerization. A hydroxyl group of cellulose or a nucleophilic
group of protein can act as an initiator. You may will have experienced this
reaction if you have ever spilled a drop of super glue on your fingers. A
nucleophilic group of the protein on the surface of the skin initiates the
polymerization reaction with the result that two fingers can become firmly glued
together. The ability to form covalent bonds with groups on the surfaces of the
objects to be glued together is what gives super glue its amazing strength.
Questions :
a.) What is super glue? b.) What do you mean by a nucleophile?
c.) What is a covalent bond? D.) Name the two electron – withdrawing
groups present in the monomer of super glue.
