Answer

  • Mock drill is the practice to check whether there is preparedness for dealing with the sudden attack of disaster.
  • For this purpose, virtual or apparent situations that simulate the disaster are created.
  • The reaction time for any type of disaster is checked by such activity. In the presence of trained personnel, the execution of the rescue plans are observed.
  • People also understand their responsibilities at the time of actual disaster.
  • The experts also check execution of plan designed for disaster redressal.
  • By such mock drills, the efficacy of the system can be understood. In future, when actual calamity strikes, there is already preparation for disaster redressal. Therefore, mock drill is useful.

A person first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only $A-B$ type of seeds were produced in the $F_1$ generation. When $F_1$ generation pea plants having $A-B$ type of seeds were cross-bred by self-pollination, then in addition to the original round-yellow and wrinkled-green seeds, two new varieties $A-D$ and $C-B$ type of seeds were also obtained.
