What fundamental biological process was immediately explained by the double-helix model of DNA?
💡 Explanation:The complementary nature of the two strands in the double-helix model (A pairing with T, and C pairing with G) instantly suggested a mechanism—known as semi-conservative replication—by which each strand could serve as a template for accurately copying the genetic material.

A company increases long-term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending. What is the most likely financial effect?
💡 Explanation:High Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending, while reducing immediate cash flows (making option A and B incorrect in the short term), is strongly associated with long-term benefits. By establishing a positive reputation with stakeholders and the community, a company can reduce its risk of legal issues, boycotts, and regulatory fines. This reduction in non-financial/business risk translates into a lower overall risk profile, which in turn leads to a lower cost of capital (both equity and debt) and higher firm valuation in the long run.

Which factor allows polymerization, a process with negative entropy change ((Delta S < 0)), to be thermodynamically spontaneous?
💡 Explanation:The criterion for a spontaneous process is a negative change in Gibbs free energy ((Delta G < 0)), according to the equation (Delta G = Delta H - TDelta S). Polymerization is the linking of small monomers into a large polymer chain, which decreases the total number of free molecules, resulting in a negative entropy change ((Delta S < 0)). For the reaction to still be spontaneous ((Delta G < 0)), the enthalpy change ((Delta H)) must be highly negative (exothermic) to overcome the positive term of (-TDelta S), especially at lower temperatures where the spontaneity is often observed.

A 10 Omega resistor carries a 5 A current. What is the circuit’s voltage?
💡 Explanation:According to Ohm's Law, the voltage (V) across a resistor is the product of the current (I) and the resistance (R). The formula is $V = I times R$. Therefore, $V = 5 text{ A} times 10 Omega = 50 text{ Volts}$.

What is the dominant force driving the movement of lithospheric plates according to modern models of plate tectonics?
💡 Explanation:Modern understanding of plate tectonics suggests that 'Slab Pull' is the strongest force driving plate movement. This force is the result of the gravitational sinking of cold, dense oceanic lithosphere into the mantle at subduction zones (trenches), dragging the rest of the plate along behind it. 'Ridge Push' is a secondary force caused by gravity sliding the elevated, newly formed lithosphere away from the mid-ocean ridges. While mantle convection (Basal Traction/Drag) is the ultimate source of heat and is part of the system, it is generally considered a minor or resisting force compared to the gravitational forces of slab pull and ridge push.

Which three financial regulatory heads govern Pakistan’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA)?
💡 Explanation:The Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) is structured as a multi-stakeholder body. Its governing board includes the Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), and the Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). This composition ensures a coordinated regulatory approach covering monetary, capital market, and fiscal aspects of virtual assets.
