At 15-30°N, air masses formed over the Pacific Ocean are moved by prevailing westerlies, where they encounter extensive north-south mountain ranges. Which statement best describes the outcome of this encounter between a landform and an air mass?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. The cool, moist Pacific air heats as it rises, releasing its precipitation as it passes the tops of the mountains. This now warm and dry air cools as it descends on the leeward side of the range.
  2. The warm, moist Pacific air rises and cools, releasing precipitation as it moves up the windward side of the range. This now cool and dry air mass heats up as it descends on the leeward side of the range.
  3. The cool, dry Pacific air heats up and picks up moisture from evaporation of the snowcapped peaks of the mountain range, releasing this moisture as precipitation when the air cools while descending on the leeward side of the range.

  4. These air masses are blocked by the mountain ranges, producing high annual amounts of precipitation on the windward sides of these mountain ranges

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

An individual is having an inversion in heterozygous condition. The regions on normal chromosome are marked as A, B, C, D, E, F, G while the chromosome having inversion has the regions as a, b, e, d, c, f, g. The diagram given below shows pairing of these two homologous chromosomes during meiosis and the site of a crossing over is indicated:

The following statements are given to describe the inversion and the consequence of crossing over shown in the above diagram:

A. This is a paracentric inversion

B. This will generate a dicentric and an acentric chromosome following separation of chromosomes after crossing over

C. This will generate two recombinant chromosomes with deletion and other parental chrmosome following separation of chromosomes after crossing over

D. 50 % gametes will be non viable due to deletion or duplication of chromatids

E. The gametes having recombinant chromatid or parental inversion chromatids will be non-viable
