During the development of embryo which of the following occur first 

  1. Differentiation of tissue

  2. Differentiation of cells

  3. Differentiation of organs

  4. Differentiation of organ system


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Blastula differentiate into various regions and cells (blastomeres) of a particular region form a particular part of adult body, hence these areas are called presumptive areas and at this stage if cells of a particular area removed the adult lacks a particular part from its body.

Which distinguishes a morula from a blastula 

  1. Presence of more yolk

  2. Absence of yolk

  3. Presence of a cavity

  4. Absence of a cavity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In microlecithal eggs or alecithal eggs, the cleavage results in the production of closely packed blastomeres. The stage in which solid mass of blastomeres appears is said to be morula, whereas blastula is hollow with a cavity known as blastocoel.

The events in sexual reproduction are
(i) pre-fertilisation
(ii) fertilisation
(iii) post-fertilisation
The sequential order of their occurence is

  1. (ii) - (i) - (i)

  2. (ii) - (ii) - (i)

  3. (i) - (ii) - (iii)

  4. (i) - (iii) - (iv)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In spite of their morphological, anatomical and physiological differences, the fundamental events in sexual reproduction are the same. These events can be categorized as follows:

1. Pre-fertilization events: All the preparatory events which occur before the fusion of gametes are called pre-fertilization events. These include Gametogenesis and gamete transfer.
2. Fertilization: Fusion of two entire gametes ( one male and another female) to form a zygote.
3. Post-fertilization: All the events that occur during sexual reproduction after the fusion of gametes are called post-fertilization events.
So, the correct answer is '(i)-(ii)- (iii)'.

Match column I with column II and select the correct options from the codes given.

Column I Column II
A. Hypothalamus (i) Sperm lysins
B. Acrosome (ii) Estrogen
C. Graafian follicle (iii) Relaxin
D. Leydig's cells (iv) GnRH
E. Parturition (v) Testosterone
  1. A - (iv), B - (i), C - (ii), D - (iii), E - (v)

  2. A - (ii), B - (i), C - (iv), D - (iii), E - (v)

  3. A - (ii), B - (i), C - (v), D - (iv), E - (iii)

  4. A - (iv), B - (i), C - (ii), D - (v), E - (iii)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a small region of the brain. It's located at the base of the brain, near the pituitary gland. It secretes hypothalamic hormone such as the GnRH or Gonadotropin stimulating hormone which further has effects on the pituitary gland. The acrosome is the anterior covering on the head of the sperm that consists of enzymes called lysins that can lyse the ovum membrane to penetrate and fertilize it. A Graafian follicle is a developed tertiary follicle and is responsible for the ovulation that occurs as a result of the surge in FSH and LH levels responsible for estrogen production. Leydig cells in the seminiferous tubules are responsible for the secretion of androgens such as testosterone. Parturition is the process of the delivery of the fetus and during this process, Relaxin is a hormone produced by the ovary and the placenta with important effects in the female reproductive system and during pregnancy. 

So, the correct option is 'A - (iv), B - (i), C - (ii), D - (v), E - (iii)'.

Match column I (terms) with column II (definitions) and select the correct options from the codes given.

Column I Column II
A. Parturition (i) Attachment of embryo to endometrium
B. Gestation (ii) Release of egg from Graafian follicle
C. Ovulation (iii) Delivery of baby from uterus
D. Implantation (iv) Duration between pregnancy and birth
E. Conception (v) Formation of zygote by fusion of the egg and sperm
(vi) Stoppage of ovulation and menstruation
  1. A - (ii), B - (iv), C - (i), D - (v), E - (vi)

  2. A - (iv), B - (iii), C - (i), D - (v), E - (ii)

  3. A - (v), B - (vi), C - (ii), D - (iii), E - (iv)

  4. A - (iii), B - (iv), C - (ii), D - (i), E - (v)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Parturition is the delivery or childbirth of baby from the uterus. Gestation is the period of development during the carrying of an embryo or fetus inside viviparous animals and the duration between pregnancy and birth. Ovulation is the process of release of the ovum from the Graafian follicle as it ruptures. Implantation is the process of attachment of the zygote to the endometrial lining of the uterus. Conception refers to the post-fertilization fusion of the egg and sperm into the zygote.

So, the correct option is 'A - (iii), B - (iv), C - (ii), D - (i), E - (v)'.

Which of the following is related to the morphological changes during aging?

  1. The number of taste bud decreases.

  2. Decreased rate of cardiovascular functions.

  3. The reduction in the nephron.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Ageing is a complex process that varies as to how it affects different people and even different organs. Most gerontologists (people who study aging) feel that aging is due to the interaction of many lifelong influences. These influences include heredity, environment, culture, diet, exercise and leisure, past illnesses, and many other factors.
  • Morphological changes during aging include the number of taste bud decreases, Decreased rate of cardiovascular functions and The reduction in the number of nephrons.
  • So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.

............... is the pigment which is mainly released due to degradation of phospholipids in the cell membrane and actively participates in the ageing.

  1. Lipofuchsin

  2. Free radical

  3. Cellular proteins

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Ageing is a complex process that varies as to how it affects different people and even different organs. Most gerontologists (people who study aging) feel that aging is due to the interaction of many lifelong influences. These influences include heredity, environment, culture, diet, exercise and leisure, past illnesses, and many other factors.
  • Lipofuscin (age pigment) is a brown-yellow, electron-dense, autofluorescent material that accumulates progressively over time in lysosomes of postmitotic cells, such as neurons and cardiac myocytes. It participates in the ageing phenomenon.
  • Hence Lipofuchsin is the pigment which is mainly released due to degradation of phospholipids in the cell membrane and actively participates in the ageing.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Lipofuchsin'.

Which of the following process can be related to ageing? 

  1. Mutation

  2. Chromosomal abbreviations

  3. Genetic recombinations

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: D

According to immunity theory, ageing is due to

  1. Accumulation of errors

  2. Reduced functioning of endocrine glands

  3. Degeneration of thymus

  4. Accumulation of waste products


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to immunity theory, the immune system is programmed to decline its functions over time, and this fact is the main cause of aging. Thymic involution (shrinking of the thymus with age) is believed to be the main age-related change in the immune system, and this alteration begins after puberty.

So, the correct option is ‘Degeneration of thymus’.

Lipofuscin causes ageing by

  1. Degradation of cellular protein

  2. Degradation of phospholipid of plasma membrane

  3. Degradation of endoplasmic reticulum

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Ageing is a complex process that varies as to how it affects different people and even different organs. Most gerontologists (people who study aging) feel that aging is due to the interaction of many lifelong influences. These influences include heredity, environment, culture, diet, exercise and leisure, past illnesses, and many other factors.
  • Lipofuscin (age pigment) is a brown-yellow, electron-dense, autofluorescent material that accumulates progressively over time in lysosomes of postmitotic cells, such as neurons and cardiac myocytes. It causes ageing by the degradation of phospholipid of the plasma membrane.
  • So, the correct answer is 'degradation of phospholipid of plasma membrane'.

Which of the following hormone controls the biological clock of ageing?

  1. Thymosin

  2. Insulin

  3. Pancreas

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • The thymus gland secretes a peptide hormone called Thymosin. Thymosin plays a major role in the differentiation of T-lymphocytes, which provide cell-mediated immunity. In addition, thymosins also promote the production of antibodies to provide humoral immunity.
  • The thymus gland is degenerated in old individuals resulting in a decreased production of thymosins. As a result, the immune responses of old persons become weak.
  • Hence Thymosin hormone controls the biological clock of ageing by promoting immunity in adult and by degeneration in older individuals.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Thymosin'.

Which of the following induces the epithelial cells below the scab to undergo mitosis?

  1. Epidermal growth factor

  2. Fibroblast growth factor

  3. Glial growth factor

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Scab is a collection of dried blood cells and serum and sits on top of the skin surface.
  • The outermost layer of our skin is composed of epithelial cells. As wounds heal, epithelial cells regenerate across the wound surface from the edges to close the wound. 
  • The Epidermal growth factor induces the epithelial cells below the scab to undergo mitosis and facilitates closure of the wound.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Epidermal growth factor'.

Enzyme which becomes more active in aged person is _____________.

  1. Malate dehydrogenase

  2. Aldolase

  3. Lactate dehydrogenase

  4. Acetylcholinestrase


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When ageing is progressing in the human body, different types of oxidising enzymes activity increases because of decreased rate of metabolism.

So, the correct option is ‘Malate dehydrogenase’.

Protein which plays a significant role in ageing is

  1. Actin

  2. Myosin

  3. Collagen

  4. Elastin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A. Actin - plays an important role in embryogenesis, the healing of wounds and the invasivity of cancer cells.

B. Myosin – plays an important role in muscle contractions and  a variety of movements of nonmuscle cells, including cell division,

C. Collagen – plays a significant role in ageing.

D. Elastin - plays an important role in the biomechanical function of vital body tissues and organs such as the heart, lungs, skin and the vocal folds.

So, the correct option is ‘Collagen’.

According to which theory is the given statement correct?

Statement. B and T cells having receptors for self-antigens undergo programmed cell death

  1. Somatic mutation theory

  2. Programmed senescence theory

  3. Wear and tear theory

  4. Immunological theory


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A. Somatic mutation theory - posits that the accumulation of mutations in the genetic material of somatic cells as a function of time results in a decrease in cellular function.

B. Programmed senescence theory - refers to the idea that senescence in humans and other organisms is purposely caused by evolved biological mechanisms in order to obtain an evolutionary advantage.

C. wear and tear theory - asserts that the effects of ageing are caused by progressive damage to cells and body systems over time. Essentially, our bodies "wear out" due to use. Once they wear out, they can no longer function correctly.

D. Immunological theory - asserts that the process of human ageing is, in fact, a mild and generalized form of the prolonged auto-immune phenomenon.

So, the correct option is ‘Programmed senescence theory’.

Ageing starts with disappearance of

  1. Spleen

  2. Pituitary gland

  3. Thymus gland

  4. Parathyroid gland


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ageing starts with the disappearance of thymus according to immunity theory . Thymic involution (shrinking of the thymus with age) is believed to be the main age-related change in the immune system, and this alteration begins after puberty.

So, the correct option is ‘thymus gland’.

Which is not connected with theory of ageing

  1. Wear and Tear

  2. Neurohormonal changes

  3. Epimorphosis

  4. Metabolic rate

  5. Somatic mutation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Increase in the age of the persons is called ageing. In this, loss or decrease of physical, physiological, behavioural activities takes place. The decrease in wear and tear, neurohormonal changes, the rate of metabolism, somatic mutations take place. Replacement of organs does not take place in ageing.

So, the correct option is ‘Epimorphosis’.

Most accepted theory of ageing is

  1. Death of brain cells

  2. Non-functioning of a-cells in pancreas

  3. Less RBC in blood

  4. Non-functioning of thymus gland


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Immunity theory is the widely accepted theory for ageing. The immune system is programmed to decline its functions over time, and this fact is the main cause of aging. Thymic involution (shrinking of the thymus with age) is believed to be the main age-related change in the immune system, and this alteration begins after puberty.

So, the correct option is ‘Non functioning of thymus gland’.

"Genes in somatic cells undergo mutation with time and cause senescence. This theory belongs to ________________.

  1. Error and damage theories

  2. Hormonal theory

  3. Immunological theories

  4. Programmed senescence theory


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A. Error and damage theories - emphasize environmental assaults to living organisms that induce cumulative damage at various levels as the cause of aging.

B. Hormonal theory - hormones or reduced production of hormones might cause aging has also led some to believe that they could be an anti-aging elixir. 

C. Immunological theory - asserts that the process of human aging is, in fact, a mild and generalized form of prolonged auto-immune phenomenon.

D. Programmed senescence theory - refers to the idea that senescence in humans and other organisms is purposely caused by evolved biological mechanisms in order to obtain an evolutionary advantage.

So, the correct option is ‘Error and damage theories’.

The sperms that are not ejaculated are reabsorbed in the-

  1. Corpus epididymis

  2. Cauda epididymis

  3. caput epididymis

  4. Vas deferens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
If a man has an inactive sex life and can’t even be bothered to pleasure himself, sperm that stores up inside his body without being released will eventually die and be reabsorbed into his body like so much horse manure spread judiciously throughout a cornfield.
So the correct option is ' Corpus epididymis'.
