Which of the following animals can regenerate it's broken body part?

  1. Cockroach

  2. Frog

  3. Sparrow

  4. Starfish


Correct Option: D

Starfish are known for their ability to regenerate amputated limbs and are characterized by flexible arms attached to a central disc. The central disc is essential for complete regeneration, however arms that are partially damaged/lost are regenerated by the organism

So, the correct option is 'Starfish'

Which of the following animals are regenerate it's broken body part?

  1. Cockroach

  2. Frog

Correct Option: A

Select the correct example of asexual mode of reproduction?

  1. Fragmentation

  2. Budding

  3. Binary fission

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • There are different methods of asexual reproduction. 
  • They include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding. 
  • Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size.
  • Fragmentation occurs when a parent organism breaks into fragments or pieces, and each fragment develops into a new organism. Starfish, like the one in Figure below, reproduce this way.
  • Budding occurs when a parent cell forms a bubble-like bud. The bud stays attached to the parent cell while it grows and develops.
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'

Regeneration is the process of 

  1. Renewal

  2. Restoration and growth

  3. Death

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Regeneration is the ability to replace the lost or damaged body parts. Plants can regenerate all body parts from the precursor cells. Many trees, for example, can be cut off at the ground and in due course, sprouts appear. These go on to develop the new stem, leaves and flowers. So, regeneration is a process of restoration and growth and also a process of renewal.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Regeneration is carried out by specialized cells. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth of cells which lead to the renewal of lost or damaged parts or cells. All the cells of the body do not take part in the regeneration rather the cells involved in regeneration are cells which have immense potential to divide and differentiate. In lizards, the cells of blastema actively takes part in the regeneration and it is capable of growth composed of pleuripotent cells which retains memory of tissue origin. So, the given statement is true.

The lost portion of the liver is regenerated by 

  1. Reparative regeneration

  2. Compensatory hypertrophy

  3. Heteromorphic regeneration

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The liver is the only internal organ that can regenerate itself.
  • Hepatocytes are the liver cells that are responsible for the liver's ability to regenerate; they act as stem cells that can re-form liver tissue. The liver can regenerate after either surgical removal or after chemical injury. It is known that as little as 25% of the original liver mass can regenerate back to its full size.
  • The lost portion of dissected liver regenerates by Compensatory hypertrophy i.e The growth which is a result of increased cell size.

Which of the following step of regeneration stops the bleeding at the site of amputation?

  1. Wound closure

  2. Redifferentiation

  3. Dedifferentiation

  4. Blastema formation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Regeneration process in higher animals involves a series of steps.1)Wound closure 2) Demolition and Defence 3)De-differentiation 4)Blastema Formation 5) Growth and 6)Re-differentiation.
  • WOUND HEALING: Amputation or injury to organ results in exposure of the interior tissues to the outside. Some cells in the injured region get destroyed. There may be bleeding at the injured surface. The blood soon clots and blocks further flow of blood to the outside. Hence bleeding is stopped.
  • Then the epidermal cells proliferate and migrate from all sides towards the center of the wound. Thus the epithelium forms a complete covering over the injured tissues underneath the blood clot. 
  • Hence Wound closure step of regeneration stops the bleeding at the site of amputation.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Wound closure'.

The development of antenna-like structure in place of the eye in lobster is an example of 

  1. Compensatory hypertrophy

  2. Heteromorphic regeneration

  3. Morphollaxis

  4. None of the above

Explanation:
  • Heteromorphic regeneration is the phenomenon in which a different organ develops from the one that has been removed. For example, In lobsters, the eye is regenerated, If it is removed from the eyestalk. But if the eye is removed along with optic ganglion, instead of eye an antenna like the organ is regenerated.
  • This type of regeneration occurs in lower animals.
Hence The development of antenna-like structure in place of the eye in lobster is an example of  Heteromorphic regeneration.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Heteromorphic regeneration'.

  • Growth factors involved in regeneration phenomenon include Glial growth factor,  transferring, Epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factors.
  • Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are potent regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and function and are critically important in normal development, tissue maintenance, wound repair and angiogenesis. 
  • Fibroblast growth factor helps to induce the regeneration of blood vessels.
  • So, the correct answer is ' Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) '.

During constructive metabolism or regeneration

  1. pH becomes normal

  2. R.Q. increases

  3. Lactic acid decreases

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The process of storing energy in order for the body to maintain itself and grow is referred to as constructive metabolism or anabolism.
Anabolism is the synthesis process which requires energy (ATP). To gain energy, the cell undergoes glycolysis. As a result of glycolysis, there is decrease in the production of lactic acid and also RQ increases. RQ is the respiratory quotient which is calculated as:
RQ = (Volume of carbon dioxide released/ Volume of oxygen consumed)/ per unit time.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

(b) Brittle star
(c) Sea lily
(d) Aves

  1. a, b and c

  2. a and b

  3. b and d 

  4. a and c 


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Many animals can regenerate, that is, regrow or grow new parts of their bodies to replace those that have been damaged. Echinoderms can regenerate missing limbs, arms, spines and even intestines (for example sea cucumbers). Some brittle stars and sea stars can reproduce asexually by breaking a ray or arm or by deliberately splitting the body in half. Each half then becomes a whole new animal. Planarians are flatworms when cut into pieces, each piece can grow into a new worm. Sea cucumbers have bodies that can grow to be three feet long and shows the phenomena of regeneration. Spiders can regrow missing legs or parts of legs. Sponges can be divided. The cells of the sponge will regrow and combine exactly as before. Starfish that lose arms can grow new ones, sometimes an entire animal can grow from a single lost arm. Birds (Aves) on the other hand, do not have this ability

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
