The human chromosome with the highest and least number of genes in them are respectively:
Show Hint
- Chromosome 21 and Y.
- Chromosome 1 and X.
- Chromosome 1 and Y.
- Chromosome X and Y.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Chromosome with the highest number of genes. - Chromosome 1 has the highest number of genes, with approximately 2,000–3,000 genes.
Step 2: Chromosome with the least number of genes. - Chromosome Y has the least number of genes, with around 50–60 functional genes.

A racing track is built around an elliptical ground whose equation is given by \[ 9x^2 + 16y^2 = 144 \] The width of the track is \(3\) m as shown. Based on the given information answer the following:
(i) Express \(y\) as a function of \(x\) from the given equation of ellipse.
(ii) Integrate the function obtained in (i) with respect to \(x\).
(iii)(a) Find the area of the region enclosed within the elliptical ground excluding the track using integration.
OR
(iii)(b) Write the coordinates of the points \(P\) and \(Q\) where the outer edge of the track cuts \(x\)-axis and \(y\)-axis in first quadrant and find the area of triangle formed by points \(P,O,Q\).

- Consider a cylindrical conductor of length \( l \) and area of cross-section \( A \). Current \( I \) is maintained in the conductor and electrons drift with velocity \( \vec{v}_d \, (|\vec{v}_d| = \frac{eE}{m} \tau) \), where symbols have their usual meanings. Show that the conductivity of the material of the conductor is given by \[ \sigma = \frac{n e^2 \tau}{m}. \]
