Reading 1 for questions 41 – 47

Nikola Tesla, a Serbian by parentage, began working for the phone company in Budapest. In 1882, he headed for Paris, where he took a job with the Continental Edison Company. He was Invited to work stateside after his supervisor wrote a recommendation praising the young man as a genius on par with Thomas Alfa Edison himself. While he hired Tesla, Edison thought the man’s ideas were “splendid” but “utterly impractical.” Edison relied heavily on tedious experimentation For most of his discoveries, a commitment which some historians attribute partially to his lack of Formal education. Tesla, in contrast, was an emotionally driven dreamer with years of engineering Training, which allowed him to work out theories before physically implementing them.

At same point, Tesla insisted that he could increase the efficiency of Edison’s prototypical dynamos, and eventually wore down Edison enough to let him try. Edison, Tesla later claimed, even promised him $50,000 if he succeeded. Tesla worked around the clock for several months and made a great deal of progress. When he demanded his reward. Edison claimed the offer was a joke, saying, “When you become a full-fledged American, you will appreciate a American joke.” Edison offered a $10/week raise, instead. Ever prideful, Tesla quit, and spent the next few months picking up odd jobs across New York City.

Edison’s least favorite of Tesla’s “impractical” ideas was the concept of using alternating current (AC) technology to bring electricity to the people. Edison insisted that his own direct current (DC) system was superior, in that it maintained a lower voltage from power station to consume, ad was, therefore, safer. But AC technology, which allows the flow of energy to periodically change direction, is more practical for transmitting massive quantities of energy, as is required by a large city, or hub of industry, say. At the time, DC technology only allowed for a power grid with a one-mile radius from the power source. The conflict between the two methods and their masters came to be known as the War of Currents. In the end, AC won out. George Westinghouse, an inventor, entrepreneur, and engineer who had himself been feuding with Edison for years, fulfilled. Tesla’s dream of building a power plant at Niagara Falls to power New York City, and built upon its principles the same system of local power grids we use today.

Nearly a century ago, biologists found that if they separated an invertebrate animal embryo into two parts at an early stage of its life. It would survive and develop as two normal embryo. This led them to believe that the cells in the early embryo are undetermined in the sense that each cell has the potential to develop in a variety of different ways. Later biologist found that the situation was not so simple. It matters in which place the embryo is cut. If it is cut in a plane different from the one used by the early investigators, it will not from two whole embryos.

A debate arose over what exactly was happening. Which embryo cells are determined, just when do they become irreversibly committed to their fades, and what are the “morphogenetic determinants” that tell a cell what tp become? But the debate could not be resolved because no one was able to ask the crucial question a form in which they could be pursued productively.

Recent discoveries in molecular biology, homever, have opened up prospects for a resolution of the debate. Now investigators think they know at least some of the molecules that act as mophogenetic determinants in early development. They have been able to show that, in a sense, cell determinant begins even before a egg is fertilized.

Studying sea urchins, biologist Paul Gross found that an unfertilized egg contains substances that function as morphogenetic determinants. They are located in the cytopiasm of the egg cell; e,. In that part of the cell’s protoplasm that lies outside of the nucleus. In the unfertilized egg; the substances are inactive and are not distributed homogeneously. When the egg is fertilized, the substances become active and, presumaably, govern the behaviour of the genes they interact with. Since the substances are unevenly distributed in the egg; when the fertilized egg decides, the resulting cells are different from the start and so can qualitatively different in their own gene activity.

Reading 3 for question 54-60

 

How do you stop disease-carrying mosquitoes from multiplying? That’s the question plaguing the Brazilian government, which has been sending army soldiers door-to-door on a mission to fight Zika-the virus suspected of causing microcephaly in infants born to infected mothers. “They are giving leaflets saying that people should have to keep your backyard clean from rubbish,” said photographer Tomas Munita, who has been documenting Recife, a northeastern state capital with a population of 3.7 millions. Any stray items left outside, even a bottle cap, can collect rainwater and become a breeding ground for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that are thought to be the main carriers of zika.

But in Brazil’s favelas, or poor neighborhoods, Munita says it’s hard to imagine that the government’s information campaign will have much effect. “It’s almost impossible to control something in that kind of place,” he said. Many houses in favelas are makeshift shacks of cardboard and discarded sheet metal. With limited access to clean water and garbage collection, trash piles up and collects water, creating a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes scourge goes far beyond these tight-packed neighborhoods. Aedes aegypti has been incredibly hard to kill since it arrived in Latin America with the slave trade from Africa. Huge eradication programs in the 1950s stamped out the mosquito in some countries, only to have them to surge back in 1970s and ’80s. Even the country’s Heath minister, Marcelo Castro, has been quoted as saying that Brazil is “badly losing the battle” against mosquitoes, which aren’t just a threat because they could carry Zika. In Recife, Munita says that some people who aren’t pregnant fear catching chikungunya and dengue from mosquitoes more than Zika, since those diseases cause more severe illness

Which of the following is NOT the description of zika?
