    Study Notes

    Sclera

    • The sclera is the white, opaque, outermost fibrous coating of the eye.
    • It provides structural support and protection for the inner components of the eye.
    • The sclera covers most of the eyeball, except for the cornea, and is continuous with the cornea at the front of the eye.
    • It is composed of dense connective tissue, primarily collagen, which makes it tough and resilient.
    • The sclera also serves as an attachment point for the extraocular muscles, which control eye movement.

    Ciliary Body

    • The ciliary body is part of the eye's middle layer.
    • It is responsible for producing aqueous humor.
    • It contains the ciliary muscle, which controls the shape of the lens.

    Iris

    • The iris is the colored part of the eye that surrounds the pupil.
    • It controls the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil.

    Choroid

    • The choroid is the vascular layer of the eye, located between the sclera and the retina.
    • It provides oxygen and nutrients to the outer layers of the retina.

    Homologous Chromosomes

    • Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that have the same structure and size and carry genes for the same traits at corresponding positions (loci).
    • In diploid organisms, one chromosome of each homologous pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.
    • These chromosomes pair up during meiosis, the process of cell division that results in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells).
    • Homologous chromosomes ensure the proper segregation of genetic material to offspring.
    • Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY).

    X-Chromosomes

    • X-chromosomes are sex chromosomes that determine female sex characteristics in organisms with XY sex-determination systems.
    • Females typically have two X-chromosomes.

    Y-Chromosomes

    • Y-chromosomes are sex chromosomes that determine male sex characteristics in organisms with XY sex-determination systems.
    • Males typically have one X and one Y chromosome.

    Ryder Cup

    • The Ryder Cup is a biennial men's golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States.
    • The event is named after the English businessman Samuel Ryder, who donated the trophy.

    Ranji Trophy

    • The Ranji Trophy is a domestic first-class cricket championship played in India.
    • It is named after Ranjitsinhji, the famous Indian cricketer.

    The Ashes

    • The Ashes is a Test cricket series played between England and Australia.
    • It is one of the oldest and most celebrated rivalries in international cricket.

    Deodhar Trophy

    • The Deodhar Trophy is a List A cricket competition in Indian domestic cricket.
    • It is named after Prof. D.B. Deodhar, a prominent figure in Indian cricket.

    Virupaksha Temple

    • The Virupaksha Temple is located in Hampi, Karnataka, India.
    • It is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is worshipped here as Virupaksha.
    • "Virupaksha" means 'the one with the oblique eye.'
    • The temple is a prominent religious structure and has been in worship since its inception in the 7th century.
    • It underwent significant expansions during the Vijayanagara Empire in the 14th and 15th centuries.
    • The temple was built by Lakkan Dandesha, a nayaka under the ruler Deva Raya II, also known as Prauda Deva Raya of the Vijayanagara Empire.

    Mettur Dam

    • The Mettur Dam is constructed across the Cauvery River.
    • It is one of the largest and oldest dams in India, completed in 1934.
    • Located in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu, it plays a crucial role in irrigation and hydroelectric power generation.
    • The dam creates the Stanley Reservoir, which is vital for the agricultural activities in the region.
    • The reservoir provides irrigation to around 2,71,000 acres of land in the Cauvery Delta.

    Mahanadi

    • This river flows through the states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
    • The Hirakud Dam, one of the longest dams in the world, is built across the Mahanadi River.

    Sindhu (Indus)

    • One of the longest rivers in the world, it flows through China (Tibet), India, and Pakistan.
    • The river is historically significant as the cradle of the Indus Valley Civilization.

    Bhavani

    • A major tributary of the Cauvery River, it originates from the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu.
    • The Bhavani Sagar Dam is built on this river, which is one of the largest earthen dams in the world.
