Theory of Evolution
The evolution of life is a gradual process through which simple organisms are transformed into complex life forms over billions of years. It involves genetic changes, adaptation to the environment, and the emergence of diversity in species. Fossil records provide evidence of extinct life forms and transitional stages. Evolution is influenced by factors such as mutation, genetic recombination, and environmental pressure, shaping the biodiversity we see today. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace were pioneering naturalists who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
According to Darwin, the term 'Fitness' in the context of natural selection refers to:

Baculoviruses are -

In flowering plants, double fertilization results in the formation of:

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the given questions.
Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to
detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
Which of the following cells are involved in phagocytosis and destruction of microbes?

When methyl bromide is treated with sodium tert-butoxide, the compound formed is:

Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) The method of least squares determines the position of the trend line of the given time series.
(B) The trend line is called the line of best fit.
(C) The line of best fit is a line in which the sum of deviations of the actual values of the variable from their corresponding trend value is always positive.
(D) The normal equations of the trend line \(y=a+b x\) are \(\sum y=n a+b \sum x\) and \(\sum x y=a \sum x+b \sum x^2\), where \(n\) is the numbers of observations.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a & 4 & -5 \\ d & b & -6 \\ 5 & e & c\end{array}\right]\) is a skew symmetric matrix, then value of \(a+b+c+d+e\) is equal to
