Q: Which pair is matched INCORRECTLY?
  • A. Charles Darwin-Role of earthworms in fertility of soil
  • B. Gregor Mendel – Father of Genetics
  • C. JBS Haldane- Origin of Life
  • D. Maxwell-DNA as a basic unit of life
Correct Answer: Option D - The Scotsman James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) is regarded as the greatest theoretical physicist and mathematician of the 19th century. He is best known for the formulation of the theory of electromagnetism and in making the connection between light and electromagnetic waves in 1985 which facilitated the discovery of television and radio. He also made significant contributions in the areas of physics, mathematics, astronomy and engineering. He considered as the father of modern physics. DNA was first identified in the late 1860s by Swiss chemist Friedrich Miescher. Thus, option (d) is not correctly matched. Rest options are correctly matched.
