The exaggerated response of the immune system to certain antigens present in the environment is called :

  1. Allergy
  2. Auto immunity
  3. Graft rejection
  4. Dependence

Answer : 1st Option

Explanation :
→ Allergy is an exaggerated response of the immune system to certain antigens present in the environment.
→ When body attacks self-cells due to genetic or other unknown reasons, is called Auto immunity.
→ Graft rejection is a type of cell-mediated immune response for any transplant.
→ Dependence is the tendency of the body to manifest a characteristic withdrawal syndrome if regular dose of drugs is discontinued.

Q. ID – 15012021

Morula represents :

  1. Embryo with 2 to 4 blastomeres.
  2. Foetus with 4 to 8 blastomeres.
  3. Embryo with 8 to 16 blastomeres.
  4. Foetus with 16 to 32 blastomeres.

Answer : 3rd Option

Explanation :
→ Mitotic division starts in zygote and forms 2, 4, 8, 16 daughter cells gradually called blastomeres. The embryo with 8 to 16 blastomeres is called Morula.

Q. ID – 14012021

Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct option.

  1. Inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of non-competitive inhibition.
  2. Prosthetic groups are inorganic compounds that are tightly bound to the apoenzyme.
  3. Co-enzymes are organic compounds, associate with the apoenzyme in only transient.
  4. Metal ions form hydrogen bonds with the side chains at the active site of apoenzyme.

Answer : 3rd Option

Explanation :
→ Inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of competitive inhibition.
→ Prosthetic groups are organic compounds. They are tightly bound to the apoenzyme.
→ Co-enzymes are organic compounds and their association with the apoenzyme is only transient, usually occurring during the course of catalysis.
→ metal ions form coordination bonds with side chains at the active site and at the same time form one or more cordination bonds with the substrate.

Q. ID – 13012021

Which of the following tissues are most abundant and widely distributed in the body of complex animals ?

  1. Epithelial tissue
  2. Connective tissue
  3. Muscular tissue
  4. Neural tissue

Answer : 2nd Option

Explanation :
→ Animal tissues are broadly classified into four types : Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Muscular tissue & Neural tissue.
→ Epithelial tissue basically covers the surface of any organs and organ systems.
→ Connective tissue link any tissue, organ, organ system & body part with another tissue, organ, organ system & body parts. It connect the all the body parts through Bones, Cartilages, Adipose (Fat), Blood & Fibres.
→ Muscular and Nural tissue are special type of tissues which are limited into specific body parts.

Q. ID – 12012021

Which of the following analogy is a result of convergent evolution ?

  1. Bones of fore limbs of Bat, Whale, Cheetah & Human
  2. Vertebrates hearts
  3. Thorn of Bougainvillea & Tendrils of Cucurbita
  4. Sweet potato & Potato

Answer : 4th Option

Explanation :
→ Analogous structure are a result of Convergent evolution.
→ Here “Bones of fore limbs of Bat, Whale, Cheetah & Human”, “Vertebrates hearts” and “Thorn of Bougainvillea & Tendrils of Cucurbita” are the example of Homologous structures. But “Sweet potato & Potato” is an example of Analogous structure.

Q. ID – 11012021

Which of the followings is not correct about human circulatory system  ?

  1. Human circulatory system is also called blood vascular system.
  2. Human circulatory system consists of a heart, a network of  blood vessels and blood.
  3. Heart is the endodermally derived in origin.
  4. Human circulatory system is completely double, closed  circulatory system in nature.

Answer : 3rd Option

Explanation :
→ Human circulatory system is also called the blood vascular system.
→ It consists of a muscular chambered heart, a network of closed branching blood vessels and blood, the fluid which is circulated.
→ Heart, the mesodermally derived organ, is situated in the  thoracic cavity, in between the two lungs, slightly tilted to the left.
→ On the basis of the number of circulatory pathways, there are three types of circulation — single, incomplete double and complete double. Human have complete double circulation. On the basis of circulatory patterns, circulatory pathways are of two types — open or closed. Human circulatory system have closed circulatory pathways.

Q. ID – 10012021

Long-term Ecosystem Experiments using outdoor plots was done by :

  1. Alexander von Humboldt
  2. David Tilman
  3. Paul Ehrlich
  4. Robert Constanza

Answer : 2nd option

Explanation :
→ German naturalist and geographer Alexander von Humboldt observed that within a region species richness increased with increasing explored area, but only up to a limit. He proposed Species-Area Relationships theory.
David Tilman’s Long-term Ecosystem Experiments using Outdoor Plots found that plots with more species showed less year-to-year variation in total biomass. In his experiments, he also showed that increased diversity contributed to higher productivity.
→Stanford Ecologist Paul Ehrlich gives “Rivet Proper Hypothesis” to understanding the importance of Species Diversity in Ecosystem.
Robert Constanza and his colleagues gave a price tags on nature’s life-support services.

Q. ID -09012021

Which of the following external factor not affect Transpiration ?

  1. Light
  2. Oxygen concentration
  3. Humidity
  4. Wind speed

Answer : 2nd option

Explanation :
→ Transpiration is affected by several external factors :  temperature, light, humidity, wind speed. Plant factors that affect transpiration include number and distribution of stomata, per cent of open stomata, water status of the plant, canopy structure etc.
→ Transpiration rate is indirectly affected by Carbon dioxide concentration, an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration means that no need to open stomata as much-needed. So, less water is lost and there is lower transpiration. But transpiration rate is unaffected by oxygen concentration.
