Question

The science dealing with the study of phenomena at very low temperatures is known as?
1. Frocenics
2. Cryogenics
3. Refrigenics
4. Cytogenics

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Cryogenics

The correct answer is Cryogenics.

• Cryogenics
  • The study of material behaviors and its production at very cold or very low temperatures are called cryogenics.
    • The one who undergoes this study is often called as Cryogenicist.
    • Substances which can be liquefied below -180°C are studied under cryogenics.
    • Cryogenics is the production of and behavior of materials at very low temperatures.
    • Ultra-cold temperatures change the chemical properties of materials, which provide an interesting area of study for researchers who wish to examine the materials as they transition from gas to liquid to a solid state.

​

• Cytogenetics is the branch of genetics that studies the structure of DNA within the cell nucleus.
• This DNA is condensed during cell division and form chromosomes.
• The cytogenetic studies the number and morphology of chromosomes.
• In modern times we can use advanced cytogenetics techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to look at the genetic material in the cell through a light microscope but at a much higher resolution.
