  2. Flexure lines

  3. Papillary ridges

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

These are defined as the lines of skin, which are confined to palms and soles along with the digits. They form small ridges being separated by fine parallel grooves arranged in curved arrays.

Which of the following is not a protozoan infection?

Which of the following characterises melanin?

  1. It enhances the penetration of UV radiation through the skin.

  2. Skin may vary frequently in the amount of melanin it contains.

  3. Individuals with high concentration of melanin in their skin are at a greater risk for skin cancer.

  4. It enhances the penetration of infrared radiation through the skin.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun stimulates melanocytes in the skin to produce more melanin, which in turn makes the skin browner. This seasonal tanning is most noticeable among light complexioned people. It has the effect of shielding the inner skin.

Which among the following best supports the fact that, contrary to Gloger's Rule, many of dark complexioned human beings reside in temperate and even arctic regions today?

  1. When a population of lighter skin people migrates into far northern areas, natural selection makes their skin dark in only in the immediate next generation.

  2. Gloger's Rule is a hypothesis that cannot be applied to unverified scenario.

  3. Human societies had become very active in moving around the planet in recent centuries.

  4. When a population of lighter skin people migrates into far northern areas, natural selection makes their skin dark in all the next generations.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The rate of evolutionary change for skin colour is much slower than the homogenizing effect of human migrations today. This process of interregional movements of societies has been accelerating, particularly since the time of Columbus.
