Which of the following is not a type of fertilization?
  • Chalazogamy
  • Mesogamy
  • Gynogamy
Explanation: Plant fertilization, the types are: Porogamy: Fertilization occurs through the micropyle (the opening of the ovule). Chalazogamy: Fertilization occurs through the chalaza (the base of the ovule). Mesogamy: Fertilization occurs through the middle of the ovule. Gynogamy is not a recognized type of fertilization in plants.
Which of the following cells is involved in cell-mediated immunity?
  • T-cells
  • B-cells
  • Mast cells
  • Both T and B cells
Explanation: T-cells are primarily involved in cell-mediated immunity. They play a crucial role in recognizing and responding to infected cells, cancer cells, and foreign pathogens. B-cells, on the other hand, are mainly involved in humoral immunity, which involves the production of antibodies to neutralize pathogens. Mast cells are involved in allergic responses and do not play a direct role in cell-mediated immunity.
Which chemical fertilizer is needed for better rhizobial nitrogen fixation?
  • Phosphorus
  • Potassium
  • Calcium
  • Sodium
Explanation: Phosphorus is the chemical fertilizer needed for better rhizobial nitrogen fixation. Phosphorus is essential for the development and functioning of the rhizobium bacteria in legumes, which are responsible for fixing atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by plants. Adequate phosphorus helps enhance the efficiency of this process, leading to improved plant growth and yield.
How many canine teeth does an adult human have?
  • 8
  • 4
  • 3
  • 2
Explanation: An adult human has 4 canine teeth. These are located in the upper and lower jaws, with one canine tooth on each side of the mouth, both in the upper and lower jaws. An adult human typically has 32 teeth, including the canines. Canines, also known as cuspids, are located at the corners of the dental arches. They play a crucial role in tearing food due to their sharp, pointed edges. There are four canine teeth in total: two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw.
Stem is usually _____:
  • Positively Phototropic
  • Negatively Phototropic
  • Negatively geotropic
  • Positively acrotropic
Explanation: Tropism refers to the growth movement of a plant in response to an environmental stimulus. Here's a brief summary: Phototropism: Growth response to light. Stems typically exhibit positive phototropism (grow towards light), while roots often show negative phototropism (grow away from light). Geotropism (or gravitropism): Growth response to gravity. Roots generally exhibit positive geotropism (grow towards gravity), while stems show negative geotropism (grow away from gravity). These tropic responses help plants optimize their exposure to light and nutrients.
If xylem and phloem are arranged in the same radius, such a vascular bundle is called ____:
  • Collateral
  • Bicollateral
  • Concentric
  • Radial
Explanation: In a collateral vascular bundle, the xylem and phloem are arranged side by side along the same radius. The xylem is typically positioned towards the inner side (central axis), while the phloem is on the outer side. This arrangement can be classified as either open (where there is a cambium layer between xylem and phloem allowing for secondary growth) or closed (without a cambium layer). The term "collateral" is also synonymous with "conjoint" in this context.
Deficiency of which of the following nutrients is the most common cause of goiters?
  • Iodine
  • Calcium
  • Explanation: A goitre is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, which can cause swelling in the neck. It often results from iodine deficiency, as iodine is crucial for the production of thyroid hormones. When the body doesn't get enough iodine, the thyroid gland can become enlarged to try and compensate for the lack of hormones. The term "goitre" originates from the Latin word "gutturia," meaning throat.
