A3 Tiny Nair Cardiologistat PRS Hospital, Trivandrum Thu Policing Norms. Unlike property division, mostcell divisions are smooth and hassle-free. But once-in-a-while things go wrong; resulting in ‘cell-mutation’. But have nofear. The ‘abnormal’ mutated cell isquickly destroyed by body’s mechanism; driven by a ‘Tumor Suppressor Gene P 53, situated in Chromosome 17. If this gene is defective or lazy, the mutated cell may go on dividing,producing more rowdy cells; resulting in dreaded cancer. A defect of this gene results in a disease called ‘Li Froumeni Syndrome’where the sufferer gets multiple type of cancers in a very young age. Normal humans, unfortunately, have just one copy of this gene, which iskind of inadequate ‘security service’ for the 30 trillion cells that we harborin ourselves. In contrast, Elephants have 20 copies of this strong ‘Z-Categorysecurity’ of P 53 gene; making elephants almost cancer-free. Yes, you've read it right; elephants almost neverget cancer. ‘A stricter police force can ensure a trouble-free environment.’ Fake Images Did you get upset because your phone screen gets locked before you couldscroll the OTP, or jot down that address? Well, your eyes do just that ifexposed to an uniform white or black background for a while. It gets upset,angry and so confused that it starts creating ‘false’ images of its own byamplifying background ‘visual noise’. You start hallucinating, seeing colors. This can happen to pilotsflying over white arctic where the white sheet of ice blends with the ‘snowy’white sky, seamlessly, blurring the horizon. It happens to miners trapped in dark mines for long. Medically, this hallucination itis known as ‘Ganzfeld Effect’. ‘Don’t always believe what yousee’ Ugly under the thin hood Beauty, as perceived by human eye is somehow connected to symmetry. Abeautiful face, eyes, eyebrow, lips; everything symmetric is perceived asbeautiful and cute to the observer. This is considered an ingrained traitto look for flawless partner, who is likely to be a better reproductive mate;for the genes to propagate. A smaller eye, a squint, or a facial asymmetry is not perceived asbeauty. After all it is just a scar that makes the difference between the‘Joker’ and the ‘Batman’. But open up a human body and itis totally asymmetric. Like a suitcase packed in haste an hour before thetravel; stuff like heart is packed on the left side, liver on the right,intestines coiled in the available place; even lungs have different number oflobes between right and left.arteries passing between nerves, hooking veins, dipping under tendons,connected to pulleys; not something that would make Steve Jobshappy. human body is like a bag; packed well enough to be accepted ashand-baggage and pass security; but not nice enough if you are asked to open it up inpublic. Consider functionality. Right handed persons will use right hand to punch, left cerebral hemisphere tothink (artists use the right one too), and the right eye to peep through a keyhole. May be God didn’t agree to the philosophy of Steve Jobs that the insideof the ‘Apple Mac’ should be as beautiful as the outside. Beauty is skin deep- End-Note Human Body is trulyAmazing. It reminds us of the need of a stricter police force, ban fake ‘visual’images and change perception of beauty. Difficult; I agree. Butisn’t that the solution of most of our social problems too? My note- Dr Tiny nair is a goodwriter also. Those read his previousanswer would have already noted it. Q4 What is the oldestextinct volcano in the world?

A14 Anubhav Bansal, Pharmacist at IMPEX (2021-present)Answered 1h ago No. Because concrete contains no space at all , that's why roads and bridges are made from reinforced concerned cement Oxygen has no chance to go through concrete if there is gap found between space of road and bridges, which I think is kept deliberately so that oxygen can remain in environment but there is no chance of passage of oxygen through concrete if there is no space left.
