Question 1 of 5
1 points
Which of the following are non-tariff measure?
- Phytosanitary restrictions
- Technical Barriers to Trade
- Import licencing procedures
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: d)
Non-tariff measure (NTMs) are defined as policy measures, other than ordinary customs tariffs, that can potentially have an economic effect on international trade in goods, changing quantities traded, or prices or both.
As a result, NTMs cover a broad range of policies including traditional trade policy instruments, such as quotas or price controls.
However, they also comprise technical regulatory measures that pursue important non-trade objectives that relate to health and environmental protection, such as Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT).

Consider the following statements regarding Cell Membrane.
- The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.
- The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable.
- It does not allow diffusion of gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: a)
The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.
Some substances (small molecules, ions) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2), can move across the plasma membrane by diffusion, which is a passive transport process.

Consider the following statements about National Commission for Women (NCW).
- It has all the powers of a civil court.
- It can attend to cases of harassment of women and order appropriate punishments.
- It can review the Constitutional and Legal safeguards for women.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: a)
The National Commission for Women was set up as statutory body in January 1992 under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 to :
- review the Constitutional and Legal safeguards for women;
- recommend remedial legislative measures;
- facilitate redressal of grievances and advise the Government on all policy matters affecting women.
The commission also has the powers that are vested upon with a civil court.

Question 4 of 5
1 points
The genome mapping in the ocean will help to
- Understand the internal working of the ecosystem of the Indian Ocean.
- Understand the adaptation of microbes to various micronutrients like nitrates, sulphates and silicates in the ocean.
- Identify the factors controlling the changes in RNA and DNA of microbes in the oceans.
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: d)
What will the scientists learn from the genome mapping in the ocean?
This will help scientists understand the internal working of the ecosystem of the Indian Ocean. The research will enable scientists to identify the factors controlling the changes in RNA, DNA in the oceans, and various stressors impacting them. The ocean has several micronutrients like nitrates, sulphates and silicates, minerals like iron ore and zinc, and trace metals like cadmium or copper. The genome mapping will show the presence of which these microbes have adapted to, in addition to their reaction to atmospheric carbon dioxide. This will help in identifying which part of the ocean has a greater concentration of which mineral or element.
Exploring the ocean genome will enable an increase in the growing number of commercial biotechnology applications, extending from multiple anticancer treatments to cosmetics and industrial enzymes, to antiviral molecules… Exploration of the ocean at a genetic level will result in new insights into taxonomy and adaptive capacity that can help optimize conservation efforts

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: a)
‘Maitri Diwas’ will be commemorated on December 6 to mark India recognising Bangladesh in 1971.
Ten days before the liberation of Bangladesh, India had recognised Bangladesh on December 6, 1971.
India was one of the first countries to establish bilateral diplomatic ties with Bangladesh.
