Read the given passage and answer the six questions that follow.
Free will is the ability to decide and act free from any influence of past events or environment. It
implies complete freedom to make any choice absolutely. We clearly don't have free will. Our
decisions and actions are never divorced from our past.
We have a conditioned mind. Our memories, past impressions and experiences bias and shape our
thoughts and actions in the present. It is ck karmic imprint. Not just what we are born with, but
also what we accumulate while living. Wij-can consider it as the result of our genetic code,
upbringing and environment. It's our backstgry.
The only way to experience free will is to gOthrid of all such conditioning; to neutralise our karmic
imprint; to be independent of our psychologifal coding. That's possible only if we can purify our mind
by letting go of all our ego, attachments ced beliefs. Then we can reside in the truth of our
being. ae a 101 E/D

a choice in most situations like, who you choose to marry, what profession you pursue or how yoy

choice too is significantly restricted, dictated kg our predispositions.
This applies even to our ability to bring aboutjghange within ourselves. Despite a strong resolve to be
calmer, kinder or less anxious, our ability to ¢manifest that change depends, partly on our emotional

Read the given passage and answer the six questions that follow.
Coffee's genetic make-up is no trivial concern; 10 million tonnes of the crop were grown and sald in
2022-23, The coffee that we drink comes from two species: Coffea Canephora, which is also known as
Robusta and Coffea Arabica, known as Arabica. fnl many cases, beans from the two species are
blended to make a brew. But the beans of single sficcies are also roasted and sold. Overall, Arabica
beans represent around 56% of all coffee sold.
Most genetic variation in living organisms comes?Hom hybridization with other species. However,
this is a relatively rare event for Coffea Arabiadbecause it has more than two copies of each
chromosome — a phenomenon called polyploitiy! Coffea Canephora has two copies of each
chromosome, but Coffea Arabica contains multiple) copjes. This makes it much more difficult for
Arabica to interbreed with other species. id
‘Asa result, Coffea Arabica’s main source of single nucleotide variation is mutation, which occurs at a
steady rate over time. However, the species is also relatively young, having formed as a hybrid of
Robusta and Coffea Eugenioides — another coffee species that is not widely cultivated — within the
past 50,000 years. From that single plant, which has basically no variation, you create the whole
species, and then the variation is only the novel mutations that have occurred since that event.
Despite this, there is substantial variation in the pfsical characteristics of the Arabica coffee plant,
including different flavour profiles in the beans aiff variations in disease resistance, says emeritus
geneticist Juan Medrano at the UC Davis Coff¢@Kenter at the University of California, Davis.
SWe're always talking about low variability atc DNA level, but there is variability at the
