Solution

The correct option is C In what promises to be an alternative to corneal transplantation for treating blindness caused from damage to cornea, the discovery of potent stem cells possessing the ability to restore lost sight in the eye by city-based L.V. Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI)’s scientists along with U.S. scientists offers hope.
A. "That" incorrectly modifies "eye", which does not possess the ability to restore lost sight. The potent stem cells in the eye possess the ability to restore lost sight. Incorrect

B. If we read this answer choice carefully, we see that "the discovery of..... by scientists..... possess the ability to restore lost sight". Again, the discovery does not possess the ability. Incorrect

C. Here, "Possessing the ability to restore lost sight" correctly modifies potent stem cells. Correct

D. Like choice A, "which" incorrectly modifies "eye", which does not possess the ability to restore lost sight. Incorrect

E. Same as choice A. Incorrect

Q. Match the following.

Eye diseasesDefect(1) Glaucoma(A) an infection in the layer of the eye which causes inflammation(2) Colour blindness(B) increased pressure in the eye which causes damage to the optic nerve(3) Conjunctivitis(C) lens of the eye becomes opaque resulting in blindness(4) Cataract(D) inability to distinguish between colours due to defect in photoreceptors
Q. Do you know that the corneal-impairment can be cured by replacing the defective cornea with the cornea of the donated eye? How and why should we organize groups to motivate the community members to donate their eyes after death?
Q. The ozone layer: Between 15 and 50 km above the earth is a thin layer of gas called 'ozone'. It protects the earth from most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. Too much radiation causes blindness in animals and skin cancer in people. In 1985, scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer in the Antartica. They have recently discovered a smaller hole over the arctic. The ozone layer is also becoming thinner over other locations of the earth too. Scientists believe that over the last 10 years about 30% of the ozone layer has disappeared. This damage is caused by chemicals. Choose the right statement(s) from the following.
Q. Efforts to repeat the cloning of Dolly (the sheep) have been unsuccessful. The scientists who claim to have cloned Dolly have been challenged to produce additional evidence that Dolly is really derived from an adult cell (an originally claimed), rather than a foetal cell which might have contaminated the experiment (as the sceplor suggest). Which of the following could provide evidence that Dolly was created from an adult cell, rather than a foetal cell?
