Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Have you ever thought why scientists use the method of cloning? The most common reason to clone plants or animals is mass production of organisms with desired qualities, such as a prizewinning orchid or a genetically modified animal. The well-known example is genetically engineered sheep to produce human insulin. Other reasons for cloning might include filling the gap of lost beautiful pets and regenerating endangered or even extinct species. Whatever the reasons are, the new cloning technologies have ignited ethical debates and discourses at many science forums, political forums and even public forums. Several governments have made legal provision to slow down, limit or ban cloning experiments. In near future, cloning will be a more recurrent technique, but the course of this technology has yet to be established. The greatest debatable issue is still unanswered- should humans be cloned? Due to the poor success rate of animal cloning experiments (even less than one percent) and the lack of understanding about reproductive cloning, many scientists are of strong opinion that it would be unethical to attempt to clone humans. Several cloned animals die prematurely due to enhanced susceptibility to diseases and other metabolic complications. The same problem might be expected in human cloning. Apart from this, impact of cloning on metal and cognitive development has hardly been researched. Intellect and mood may not be significant issues in case of sheep or rabbit, but they are crucial for the development of healthy humans. With so many concerns, the attempt to clone at this time seems to be ethically irresponsible. What is the most distinguishing feature of cloning?
  • A
    Cloning produces organisms with qualities like parents
    Correct
  • B
    Cloning is used for mass production of crop plants
  • C
    Clones have all desired physical qualities
  • D
    Cloning helps regenerate endangered or extinct species

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Students facing a new problem often give up, if the answer to a problem is not immediately known. They think it is too difficult, or beyond their capacity. They exclaim, “I can’t do this!” and don’t make efforts to do. Sometimes they scribble anything without understanding, to finish the task as soon as possible. Some of these students might be suffering from the problem of attention deficit. They get easily distracted and are unable to focus for a longer duration of time. They lack the ability to analyze a problem and develop a strategy to find a feasible solution. They probably give up because they have limited problem-solving abilities. When confronted with challenging situations, students, parents and teachers might use one or more of their habits of mid by asking themselves, ‘What is the most intelligent and best thing I can do in this situation?’ How can I reconstruct this problem to make it clearer, more precise? ‘What are my available resources?’ ‘How and what can I learn from this?’ ‘How can I draw on my past experiences with problems like this?’ ‘How can I look at this problem from a fresh perspective?’ ‘How does this problem affect others?’ ‘How can we solve it together?’ Solutions may be hidden in the answers to all these questions. Attention deficit can cause the student to,
  • A
    Guess the possible solution
  • B
    Leave a problem unsolved
    Correct
