Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Genome Sequencing’
- It is the process of determining the entirety of the DNA sequence of an organism’s genome at a single time
- Genome sequencing can only determine the likelihood that genetic material came from a particular individual or group
- Almost any biological sample containing a full copy of the DNA—like saliva, epithelial cells, seeds can be used for sequencing the genome
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct Whole genome sequencing (WGS), also known as full genome sequencing, complete genome sequencing, or entire genome sequencing, is the process of determining the entirety, or nearly the entirety, of the DNA sequence of an organism’s genome at a single time. This entails sequencing all of an organism’s chromosomal DNA as well as DNA contained in the mitochondria and, for plants, in the chloroplast. Whole genome sequencing should not be confused with DNA profiling, which only determines the likelihood that genetic material came from a particular individual or group, and does not contain additional information on genetic relationships, origin or susceptibility to specific diseases. When an individual undergoes whole genome sequencing, they reveal information about not only their own DNA sequences, but also about probable DNA sequences of their close genetic relatives. Almost any biological sample containing a full copy of the DNA—even a very small amount of DNA or ancient DNA—can provide the genetic material necessary for full genome sequencing. Such samples may include saliva, epithelial cells, bone marrow, hair (as long as the hair contains a hair follicle), seeds, plant leaves, or anything else that has DNA-containing cells. Context – The Central government has recently asked States and Union Territories to increase genome sequencing of positive samples amid a rise in COVID cases in China, Japan, the United States, Korea and Brazil.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Rule 267 of Rajya Sabha’
- The Rule gives special power to a Rajya Sabha member to suspend the pre-decided agenda of the House with the approval of the Chairman
- It is an extraordinary tool and has been only twice in the last decade
- The Rule shall still apply even when a specific provision already exists for suspension of a rule under a particular chapter of the Rules
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Incorrect The Rule gives special power to a Rajya Sabha member to suspend the pre-decided agenda of the House, with the approval of the Chairman. The Rajya Sabha Rule Book says, “Any member, may, with the consent of the Chairman, move that any rule may be suspended in its application to a motion related to the business listed before the Council of that day. Usually, such requests are not accepted by the chairman, with 3 exceptions in 2015 and 2016. The last time the rule was used to request a discussion was in November 2016 – the issue in question being ‘demonetisation’. If the motion is carried, the rule in question shall be suspended for the time being: provided further that this rule shall not apply where specific provision already exists for suspension of a rule under a particular chapter of the Rules”. Context – Rule 267 became the bone of contention in Rajya Sabha after six such notices were declined by Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar
