Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which recent scientific finding partially supports Lamarck’s theory of acquired characteristics?
Correct
Answer: (c) Cold-induced epigenetic changes in rice passed over generations
Explanation:
Lamarck proposed that traits acquired during an organism’s life can be passed to offspring. While this was largely disproved by later scientific discoveries, a recent study on rice plants showed that cold exposure led to heritable epigenetic changes, offering partial support to Lamarckian ideas in the context of epigenetics, not genetic mutation.

What makes the Nothopegia fossil discovery in Assam scientifically significant?
Correct
Answer: (c) It links today’s Western Ghats flora to ancient Northeast India
Explanation:
Fossilized leaves resembling the Nothopegia genus, now found only in the Western Ghats, were discovered in Assam’s Makum Coalfield, dating to 24–23 million years ago. This shows the plant once thrived in Northeast India, linking the two regions’ ecosystems and indicating past tropical climate conditions before tectonic changes.

What unique feature of the ET-LDHC missile under Project Vishnu makes it nearly impossible to intercept?
Correct
Answer: (c) Its hypersonic speed of Mach 8 with evasive manoeuvrability
Explanation:
The ET-LDHCM missile under Project Vishnu achieves Mach 8 speed (~11,000 km/h) and is capable of evasive manoeuvres and flat trajectory attacks, making interception with current defense systems extremely difficult. It represents India’s entry into next-gen hypersonic weaponry.
