Answer

(i) The slow process of decay or destruction of metal due to the effect of air, moisture and acids on it is known as corrosion.
(ii) Gold ornaments do not get corroded.
(iii) Gold is a noble metal and is least reactive.
(iv) It does not react with water or any of the gases present in the atmosphere. Common acids do not have any effect on gold.
(v) Thus, gold ornaments do not corrode.

With the help of RNA, the genes present in the form of DNA participate in the functioning of cell and thereby control the structure and functioning of the body. Information about protein synthesis is stored in the DNA and synthesis of appropriate proteins as per requirement is necessary for body. These proteins are synthesized by DNA through the RNA. This is called ‘Central Dogma’. mRNA is produced as per the sequence of nucleotides on DNA. Only one of the two strands of DNA is used in this process. The sequence of nucleotides in mRNA being produced is always complementary to the DNA strand used for synthesis. Besides, there is uracil in RNA instead of thymine of DNA. This process of RNA synthesis is called ‘transcription’.
