• Bhakra Dam has ten power generators with five on each side. Generators for the left power house were originally supplied by Hitachi, Japan and upgraded to the present capacity by Sumitomo, Hitachi and Adritz. Generators for the right side were originally supplied by Soviet Union and later upgraded to the present capacity by Russia. The two power houses have a total capacity of 1325 MW. The left power house contain 3 x 108 MW and 2 x 126 MW Francis turbines while the right has 5 x 157 MW.
• The power generated at Bhakra Dam is distributed among partner states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh and Delhi.
• Three additional power plants are on the two canals Nangal Hydel Channel and Anandpur Sahib Hydel Channel that originate from Nangal dam. Their generation capacities are : Ganguwal - 77.65 MW, Kotla - 77.65 MW and Anandpur - 134 MW.

• Biomass is an organic matter derived from living organisms. Biomass can be used as a source of energy and most often refers to plants or plant-based materials that are not used for food or feed, and are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass.
• Sugarcane and Jatropha can produce Biomass energy.

In resource economics, Hartwick's rule defines the amount of investment in produced capital (buildings, roads, knowledge stocks, etc.) that is needed to exactly offset declining stocks of non-renewable resources.

All fossil fuels are non-renewable. Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Natural gas is flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground (often in association with petroleum) and used as fuel.

• The passing on of traits from the parents to their offsprings by reproduction (asexual or sexual) is called heredity.
  
• The life cycle of an organism can be defined as a sequence of life stages or events an organism undergoes from birth to reproduction.
• Reproduction is the process by which new organisms or offspring are produced by their parents
• The fusion of male and female gamete is called fertilization.
• So, the correct answer is 'i and ii only'.
  

The term germplasm was first used by the German biologist August Weismann. His germplasm theory states that multicellular organisms consist of germ cells that contain and transmit heritable information and somatic cells which carryout ordinary bodily functions. In the germplasm theory, inheritance in a muticellular organism only takes place by means of the germ cells: the gametes, such as egg cells and sperm cells. Other cells of the body do not function as agents of heredity.

Hammerling began growing acetabularia in laboratories in the 1930s. There he discovered that the plant had one cell and the nucleus was always located in the rhizoid. Then he began studying the roles of the nucleus and cytoplasm by experimenting with the acetabularia. He demonstrated that nucleus has the genetic material which regulates the inheritance of characters.

So, the correct answer is option C.
