Twins enrooting from the splitting of one zygote are termed as

  1. universal twins

  2. monozygotic twins

  3. dizygotic twins

  4. mitochondrial twins


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Twins of this type are mostly genetically identical. Subsequently, they are also called identical twins in contrast to fraternal or dizygotic twins, which come from two separate eggs fertilised by different sperms.

Select the correct statement regarding mitosis in humans.

  1. All body cells undergo the process of mitosis continously from the date of conceiving till death.

  2. Every body cell going through the process of mitosis divides into two complete new cells that are usually identical to the cell from which they formed.

  3. It takes about three days for a cell to complete all six phases of mitosis.

  4. Through mitosis, body produces new sex cells.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Both the original and the new cells normally are identical in their components and functions. This assures that replacement cells in skin and other body tissues are faithful copies.

In human body, the mode of reproduction for somatic cells is______________ , & for sex cells is______________ .

  1. meiosis & mitosis

  2. mitosis & mitosis

  3. mitosis & meiosis

  4. meiosis & meiosis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Somatic cells divide to produce exact copies. This is how skin, and other body parts are replaced. In contrast, sex cells are not identical to the cells from which they came. Sperm and ova contain only half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells.

In which of the following structures does the human heart lie?

  1. Pleural cavity.

  2. Cranial cavity.

  3. Abdominal cavity.

  4. Pericardial cavity.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cardial refers to heart, and 'peri'  means to surround.

Which among the following characterises the meiosis in humans?

  1. Sperm and ova are not similar to the respective parent cells.

  2. Females produce more gametes than males.

  3. The process commences both in males and females at the time of puberty.

  4. It produces somatic body cells.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sperm and ova are very different from the parent cells that produced them. Most notably, they only have half the number of chromosomes. They also show anatomical differences, such as the flagellum (or tail) on a sperm cell.

Which of the following organs is retroperitoneal?

  1. Lliver.

  2. Lungs.

  3. Spleen.

  4. Kidney.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It lies behind the peritoneum, so it is retroperitoneal.

Pick the correct statement regarding the human reproduction.

  1. The process of mitosis in men is also known as spermatogenesis.

  2. The sperm and ova are together known as zygotes.

  3. The process of oogenesis occurs in the ovaries of females.

  4. Sperm cells divide through out their life span.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ova are produced in the ovaries. At ovulation, a secondary oöcyte passes down one of the fallopian tubes to the uterus where a fetus can develop normally if fertilization has occurred (in the fallopian tube) and meiosis completed.

Oocytes can be defined as

  1. the ova that have not yet completed the process of oogenesis

  2. the points on chromosomes where ova are formed

  3. the male counterpart of ova

  4. a mature ovum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In humans, about 7 million primary oِcytes are produced at beginning of the fetal stage, before birth. Of these, less than 500 eventually become secondary oِcytes after puberty and are released at ovulation. Oogenesis is completed at conception.

As a consequence of fertilization, which among the following generally takes place in course of development?

  1. Formation of a gamete

  2. The male & female gametes combine their genetic material to produce an offspring with the same number of chromosomes as the parents.

  3. The male & female gametes combine their genetic material to create an offspring with the half number of chromosomes as the parents.

  4. The final phase of spermatogenesis starts.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The single cell zygote is created by fertilization of male & female gametes then progressively becomes a complex multicellular embryo by mitosis and eventually develops into a recognizable fetus.

Which of the following conjoined twins have four ears?

  1. Ischiopagus

  2. Xiphopagus

  3. Synecephalus

  4. Cephalopagus

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Here the twins bear one head with a single face but have four ears and two bodies.

Which of the following twins is asymmetrically conjoined?

  1. Parasitic twins

  2. Craniopagus

  3. Cephalothoracopagus

  4. Pygopagus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here in this type of twins,  the twins are asymmetrically conjoined leading in the formation of one twin, i.e. small, less formed, and dependent on the bigger one for survival.

As a consequence of accidental conception, which among the following takes place?

  1. Almost all the progenies will have a unique combination of alleles.

  2. Most of the offsprings in the same family have the same combination of alleles.

  3. There will be no randomness in the inheritance of alleles in the offsprings from parents.

  4. Almost all the progenies will have a identical combination of alleles.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Siblings usually share many genetic traits, but they do not have identical sets of alleles unless they are monozygotic (i.e. identical) twins.

Which of the following principles cannot be depicted by a monohybrid cross?

  1. Law of dominance

  2. Law of segregation

  3. Law of independent assortment

  4. Incomplete dominance


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Law of independent assortment states that when two pairs of independent alleles enter into combination in the F2 generation, they exhibit independent dominant effects. It means that during the formation of gametes, the law of segregation operates but the factors assort themselves independently at random and freely. So, for explaining this principle a monohybrid cross will be insufficient. We will need a dihybrid cross to depict this. Thus, this is the correct answer.
