When carbohydrate is subjected to aerobic respiration, the R.Q. will be

  1. 1·0

  2. 0·0

  3. 1·4

  2. tubular reabsorption

  3. Both (1) and (2)

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tubular secretion is the transfer of materials from peritubular capillaries to renal tubular lumen and occurs mainly by active transport.

Hering-Breuer reflex occurs in

  1. walls of bronchi and bronchioles

  2. trachea and tracheoles

  3. striped muscles

  4. cyton and neurons


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Hering-Breuer inflation reflex, named for Josef Breuer and Ewald Hering, is a reflex triggered to prevent over-inflation of the lung. Pulmonary stretch receptors, present in the smooth muscle of the airways, respond to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations.

Which form(s) of chromatin is/are actively involved in transcription and protein synthesis?

  1. Euchromatin

  2. Heterochromatin

  3. Both (1) and (2)

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Euchromatin is a lightly packed form of chromatin (DNA, RNA and protein) that is enriched in genes and is often (but not always) under active transcription. Euchromatin comprises the most active portion of the genome within the cell nucleus. 92% of the human genome is euchromatic.

Mammalian embryo is directly surrounded by

  1. amniotic cavity

  2. allantoic cavity

  3. primary digestive cavity

  4. yolk sac cavity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The amniotic cavity is the closed sac between the embryo and the amnion, containing the amniotic fluid. The amniotic cavity is formed by the fusion of the parts of the amniotic fold, which first makes its appearance at the cephalic extremity and subsequently at the caudal end and sides of the embryo.

The mammalian liver in its histological structure is characterized by the presence of

  1. Glisson's capsules and Kupffer cells

  2. Glisson's capsules and leucocytes

  3. Kupffer cells and leucocytes

  4. Glandular cells and leucocytes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The mammalian liver, in its histological structure, is characterized by the presence of Glisson's capsules and Kupffer cells.

Theme of evolution is

  1. descent from common ancestors with modifications

  2. ascent from common ancestors with modifications

  3. descent from most advanced ancestors with modifications

  4. descent from most advanced animal species


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Descent from common ancestors with modifications is the main basis of evolution.

A steroid hormone produced by certain arthropods that act on DNA to initiate the synthesis of new proteins and enzymes involved in the process of moulting and cuticle formation, is called

  1. ecdysone

  2. neuro-hormone

  3. juvenile hormone

  4. bursicon


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ecdysone is a steroidal prohormone of the major insect molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, which is secreted from the prothoracic glands. Insect molting hormones are generally called ecdysteroids

Mitral valve in mammalian heart is situated between

  1. pulmonary vein and left auricle

  2. left atrium and left ventricle

  3. right atrium and right ventricle

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mitral valve is the valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart, which has two tapered cusps.

Universal recipient in blood transfusion belongs to the group

  1. A

  2. O

  3. AB

  4. B


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

With regard to transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors and those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called universal recipients

What is the name of process in aerobic respiration, in which the energy is being provided in steps in electron transport chain?

  1. Photophosphorylation

  2. Oxidative phosphorylation

  3. Decarboxylation

  4. Glycolysis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing energy, which is used to reform ATP. In most eukaryotes, this takes place inside mitochondria.

Animals which live at the bottom of the sea are called

  1. benthos

  2. diatoms

  3. nektons

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Benthos is the community of organisms that live on, in or near the seabed, also known as the benthic zone. This community lives in or near marine sedimentary environments, from tidal pools along the foreshore, out to the continental shelf, and then down to the abyssal depths.

Lethal genes are those which cause

  1. death of heterozygous infant being formed

  2. survival of the individual in which they are present

  3. death of homozygous infant being formed

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lethal alleles (also referred to as lethal genes or lethals) are alleles that cause the death of the organism that carry them. They are usually a result of mutations in genes that are essential for growth or development. Lethal alleles may be recessive, dominant or conditional, depending on the gene or genes involved.
