Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following with statements with respect to private member’s Bill-
- A Bill introduced by a member other than the ruling party member is known as private member Bill.
- There is a Committee on Private Member’s Bill of Rajya Sabha.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct
A Member of Parliament (MP) who is not a Minister in the Union Cabinet is called a Private Member. Bills introduced by such members are called Private Member’s Bills. A PMB can be introduced in either the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. Bills introduced by ministers are called Government Bills.
Committee on Private Members’ Bills and Resolutions of the Lok Sabha classifies and allocates time to Bills introduced by private members, recommends allocation of time for discussion on private members’ resolutions and examines Constitution amendment bills before their introduction by private members in the Lok Sabha. The Rajya Sabha does not have such a committee. It is the Business Advisory Committee of that House which recommends allocation of time for discussion on stage or stages of private members’ bills and resolution.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsRecently a series of new papers in the journal Nature has revealed the most comprehensive gene map ever of the genes whose departures from normal behaviour-mutations-trigger a cascade of genetic misbehaviours that eventually lead to cancer. This could help in targeted therapy. Which of the following is cab be done in targeted therapy-
- Block or turn off signals that tell cancer cells to grow and divide.
- Keep cells from living longer than normal.
- Destroy the cancer cells.
Correct

It is helpful to know how cancer cells grow in order to better understand how targeted therapy works. Cells make up every tissue in your body. There are many different cell types, such as blood cells, brain cells, and skin cells. Each type has a specific function. Cancer starts when certain genes in healthy cells change. This change is called a mutation.
Genes tell cells how to make proteins that keep the cell working. If the genes change, these proteins change, too. This makes cells divide abnormally or live too long. When this happens, the cells grow out of control and form a tumour.
Researchers are learning that specific gene changes take place in certain cancers. So they are developing drugs that target the changes. The drugs can:
- Block or turn off signals that tell cancer cells to grow and divide
- Keep cells from living longer than normal
- Destroy the cancer cells
