Indicate the main difference between exocrine and endocrine glands. [Answer Limit: 20 words] [UKPSC 2023]
Exocrine glands, which release substances through ducts into a cavity or onto surface — like sweat or saliva. In contrast, endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream, influencing far-removed organs and controlling functions such as metabolism and growth. It is this basic secretion mode dRead more
Exocrine glands, which release substances through ducts into a cavity or onto surface — like sweat or saliva. In contrast, endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream, influencing far-removed organs and controlling functions such as metabolism and growth. It is this basic secretion mode difference itself that affects their functions and that the body responses.
See less'E-mail is not a real time communication system', comment on this statement. [Answer Limit: 20 words] [UKPSC 2023]
E-mail is decidedly not a real-time communication system.

E-mail is decidedly not a real-time communication system. Emails offer asynchronous communication capabilities that is not available for instant messaging or phone calls where both parties have to be online at the same time. While this may make it a less viable option for urgent exchanges, the delay—from a few minutes to several hours—can lend itself to more in-depth, non-urgent communication.

See lessClassify the chromosomes on the basis of position of Centromere. Write brief note on giant chromosomes. [Answer Limit: 50 words] [UKPSC 2023]
Chromosomes are divided underneath Metacentric, Submetacentric, Acrocentric and Telocentric on the premise of centromere position. So metacentric have centromeres in the middle, submetacentric are slightly off middle, acrocentric are near one stop, and telocentric on the end. In flies, that is due tRead more
Chromosomes are divided underneath Metacentric, Submetacentric, Acrocentric and Telocentric on the premise of centromere position. So metacentric have centromeres in the middle, submetacentric are slightly off middle, acrocentric are near one stop, and telocentric on the end. In flies, that is due to massive chromosomes (polytene chromosomes), the result of many rounds of DNA replication without the cellular dividing, which give a whole lot of genetic information.

The diseases of the honey-bee Identified by:
1) American Foulbrood which causes brown larvae, to “tell it like it is” to clear the “casket” and die.
2) European Foulbrood of the man with starving larvae, and twisted, off-white bodies
3) Nosema of the adult bee with a swollen abdomen, and dysentery extruding from the posterior
4) Varroa Mite infestation, recognized by the deformed wings, and weakness of the bees. Each brings its own threats to hive health and productivity.
See lessWrite the differences between volatile memory and non-volatile memory. [Answer Limit: 50 words] [UKPSC 2023]
When power is applied, data is stored in RAM and accessed quickly, but is lost when power is removed, in which case volatile memory is used. Volatile memory (e.g., RAM) only temporarily stores data while powered on, while non-volatile memory (e.g. SSDs or HDDs) retains data even without power, albeiRead more
