Inbreeding: Inbreeding refers to the mating of more closely related individuals within the same breed for 4- 6 generations. Out Crossing: This is the practice of mating of animals within the same breed, but having no common ancestors on either side of their pedigree up to 4-6 generations. Cross-breeding: In this method, superior males of … Read more DMPQ-Explain the following terms: a) Inbreeding b) Out crossing c) Cross Breeding d) Interspecific Hybridisation

Uranium is one of the fissile material which is used for power generations. But All isotopes are not categorised as fissile. The certain minimum standards have to be met to qualify as fissile material: It should be able to sustain the chain reaction. It should have a high probability of fission when bombarded with slow/fast … Read more DMPQ: What are the qualities of a fissile material. Discuss the advantage of Thorium reactors.

:  A fast breeder reactor (FBR) breeds more fuel than it consumes that is it produces more plutonium than it consumes while generating power. For a uranium scarce country like India, it is an attractive technology. Plutonium produced in the thermal reactors as spent fuel is ideally suitable as the fuel material for use in … Read more DMPQ: What are the benefits of fast breeder reactor?
