Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Chromosome with the highest number of genes. - Chromosome 1 has the highest number of genes, with approximately 2,000–3,000 genes.
Step 2: Chromosome with the least number of genes. - Chromosome Y has the least number of genes, with around 50–60 functional genes.

- (a) Consider the so-called ‘D-T reaction’ (Deuterium-Tritium reaction).
In a thermonuclear fusion reactor, the following nuclear reaction occurs: \[ \ ^{2}_1 \text{H} + \ ^{3}_1 \text{H} \longrightarrow \ ^{4}_2 \text{He} + \ ^{1}_0 \text{n} + Q \] Find the amount of energy released in the reaction.
% Given data Given:
\( m\left(^{2}_1 \text{H}\right) = 2.014102 \, \text{u} \)
\( m\left(^{3}_1 \text{H}\right) = 3.016049 \, \text{u} \)
\( m\left(^{4}_2 \text{He}\right) = 4.002603 \, \text{u} \)
\( m\left(^{1}_0 \text{n}\right) = 1.008665 \, \text{u} \)
\( 1 \, \text{u} = 931 \, \text{MeV}/c^2 \)- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025
