Consider statements about environment: 1. The greenhouse effect is entirely unnatural. 2. Deforestation contributes to global warming. 3. Ozone depletion causes skin cancer. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps Earth warm; the problem is the enhanced greenhouse effect due to human activities. Deforestation reduces the number of trees absorbing CO2, increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming. Ozone layer depletion allows more harmful UV-B radiation to reach Earth, significantly increasing the risk of skin cancers. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct.

The meristematic tissue responsible for secondary growth in dicot plants is:
A. Ground meristem
B. Lateral meristem
C. Apical meristem
D. Intercalary meristem

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lateral meristems, namely vascular cambium and cork cambium, are responsible for secondary growth, increasing the girth of stems and roots in dicots and gymnosperms. Apical meristem causes primary growth in length, intercalary meristem elongates nodes, ground meristem forms ground tissue.
