(#M40027326) KVPY QUESTION Mental Ability-2010 Keep an EYE

The amino acid sequences of a bacterial protein and a human protein carrying out similar function are found
to be 60% identical. However the DNA sequences of the genes coding for these proteins are only 45%
identical. This is possible because-
(A) Protein sequence does not depend on DNA sequence
(B) DNA codons having different nucleotides in the third position can code for the same amino acids
(C) DNA codons having different nucleotides in the second position can code for the same amino acids
(D) Same DNA codons can code for multiple amino acids

(#M40027043) KVPY QUESTION General Ability Test Keep an EYE

A ball falls vertically downward and bounces off a horizontal floor. The speed of the ball just before reaching the floor (u1) is equal to the speed just after having contact with the floor (u2); u1 = u2 . The corresponding magnitudes of accelerations are denoted respectively by a1 and a2 . The air resistance during motion is proportional to speed and is not negligible. If g is acceleration due to gravity, then
option
(A) a1 < a2
(B) a1 > a2
(C) a1 = a2  g
(D) a1 = a2 = g
