Read the paragraph given below and answer the question.
Sutton and Boveri argued that the pairing and separation of a pair of chromosomes would lead to the segregation of a pair of factors they carried. Sutton united the knowledge of chromosomal segregation with Mendelian principles and called it the chromosomal theory of inheritance. Following this synthesis of ideas, experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance by Thomas Hunt Morgan and his colleagues, led to discovering the basis for the variation that sexual reproduction produced. Morgan worked with the tiny fruit files, which were found very suitable for such studies. They could be grown on simple synthetic medium in the laboratory. They complete their life cycle in a short span of time and a single mating could produce a large number of progeny flies. Also, there was a clear differentiation of the sexes the male and female flies are easily distinguishable. Also, it has many types of hereditary variations that can be seen with low power microscopes.

- A Could be easily grown in laboratory

Cancer detection is based on biopsy and histopathological studies. 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. Do you know why mother's milk is considered very essential for the new-born infant? The yellowish fluid colostrum secreted by mother during the initial days of lactation has abundant antibodies (IgA) to protect the infant. 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. The exaggerated response of the immune system to certain antigens present in the environment is called allergy. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Drugs like barbiturates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and other similar drugs, that are normally used as medicines to help patients cope with mental illnesses like depression and insomnia, are often abused. Morphine is a very effective sedative and painkiller, and is very useful in patients who have undergone surgery.
A pregnant female is advised not to discard the yellowish fluid called colostrum, secreted during the initial days of lactation, because it is rich in:CUET 2025 Hard - Which one of the following is opposite part of micropylar end of ovule.CUET 2025 Hard

Molecular nitrogen is very little reactive chemically. During lightning discharge, atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen combines to form nitric oxide which also combines with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide. Both NO and \(NO _2\) constitute smog which is very poisonous. It can cause burning sensation in the eyes and adversely affect respiratory system.
