The duct of gall bladder in rabbit is known as
The cystic duct connects the top of the gallbladder’s neck to the common hepatic duct. It then joins the common bile duct, which meets pancreatic duct before it empties into the duodenum. In the average adult, the cystic duct measures four centimeters in length.
Pepsin is secreted by
The chief cells in the stomach secrete pepsinogen which activates to form pepsin. The precursor of pepsin, pepsinogen is secreted by the Chief Cells of the Stomach wall. Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin under the effect of gastric juices and hydrochloric acid. Pepsin is secreted by the Zymogen cells of the stomach.
A person has blood group A. It has
People with type A blood have the antigen A on the surface of their RBCs, while people with type B blood have the B antigen. Individuals with type AB blood have both A and B antigens, whereas people with type O blood have no antigens present (there is no antigen O). The antibody that reacts against antigen A is called anti-A, and is found in the plasma of people who do not possess antigen A on their own RBCs – that is, people with type O or type B blood. The antibody that reacts against antigen B is called anti-B and is present in those who do not possess antigen B in their RBCs – people with type O or type A blood.
Variations appear during meiosis due to
Variation appear during meiosis due to independent assortment and crossing over because both process formation of a new gene combination or heterogygous zygote.
Which is mismatched?
Beri- beri is caused by the deficiency of vitamin- B1 (thiamine). Vitamin-K is also known as antihaemorrhagic factor. The main sources of vitamin-K are green leafy vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, etc. It is also found in animal sources like egg yolk, liver, etc. Vitamin-K is essential for blood clotting and deficiency of it causes haemorrhage.
Vitamin B₂ is related with
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is the precursor of two coenzymes known as flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Both are essential for tissue respiration and the generation of energy from the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats.
Which of the following cytoplasmic granules contain histamine ?
Basophils are circulating granulocytes that respond to allergic stimuli by migrating and accumulating at sites of allergic inflammation.They contain cytoplasmic granules with similar histamine levels per cell as mast cells. In contrast, the amount of tryptase in basophils is less than 1% of that in mast cells.
Which of the following cells are phagocytic in nature ?
Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell in humans and arise from granulocytes. They are also phagocytic in nature, and Metchnikoff called neutrophils the “archetypal phagocyte”.Neutrophils are the first immune cells to be recruited, which can be through the cytokines produced by macrophages.
Letter S in the structural unit of ribosome denotes
A Svedberg unit (symbol S, sometimes Sv) is a non-metric unit for sedimentation coefficient. The Svedberg unit (S) offers a measure of a particle's size based on its sedimentation rate, i.e. how fast a particle of given size and shape 'settles' to the bottom of a solution.
Secondary sexual characters in males develop under the influence of
Testosterone is responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics, features that stimulate male development (including characteristics that are not part of the reproductive system, such as facial hair growth and voice change).
Heart beats originate from
A pacemaker is a medical device that generates electrical impulses delivered by electrodes to contract the heart muscles and regulate the electrical conduction system of the heart.
General metabolic rate in cells is controlled by:
Thyroxine is the main hormone secreted into the bloodstream by the thyroid gland. It is the inactive form and most of it is converted to an active form called triiodothyronine by organs such as the liver and kidneys. Thyroid hormones play vital roles in regulating the body’s metabolic rate, heart and digestive functions, muscle control, brain development and maintenance of bones.
Prothrombin required for blood clotting is produced in
Prothrombin is a protein made by the liver. Prothrombin helps blood to make normal clots. The "prothrombin time" is one way of measuring how long it takes blood to form a clot, and it is measured in seconds (such as 13.2 seconds). A normal PT indicates that a normal amount of blood-clotting protein is available.
Sand fly acts as a vector of which disease
Kala azar is caused by bites from female phlebotomine sandflies – the vector (or transmitter) of the leishmania parasite. The sand flies feed on animals and humans for blood, which they need for developing their eggs. If blood containing leishmania parasites is drawn from an animal or human, the next person to receive a bite will then become infected and develop leishmaniasis. Months after this initial infection the disease can progress into a more severe form, called visceral leishmaniasis or, kala azar. Initially, leishmania parasites cause skin sores or ulcers at the site of sand fly bites. If the disease progresses, it attacks the immune system. Kala azar presents after two to eight months, with more generalised symptoms including prolonged fever and weakness.
Preserving germplasm in frozen state is
Cryopreservation:Cryopreservation [preservation in the frozen state (cryo means extreme cold, derived from Latin word kruos = ‘frost’)] is based on the reduction and subsequent arrest of metabolic functions of biological material by imposition of ultra-low temperature.
In man, the disease cholera is caused by
Cholera is caused by bacteria called Vibrio cholerae. The disease’s deadly effects are the result of a strong toxin known as CTX that is produced by these bacteria in your small intestine. CTX interferes with the normal flow of sodium and chloride when it binds to your intestinal walls. When the bacteria attaches to the small intestine’s walls, your body begins to secrete large amounts of water that lead to diarrhea and rapid loss of fluids and salts.
Which one of the following is associated with sex-linked inheritance?
The two genes that produce red and green light-sensitive proteins are located on the X chromosome. Mutations in these genes can cause color blindness. Color blindness is a common inherited sex-linked disorder that affects a person's ability to see or recognize certain colors.
genetic red–green color blindness affects males much more often than females, because the genes for the red and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome, of which males have only one and females have two.
Heroin is got from plant of family
Heroine like opium and morphine is obtained from the resin of poppy plant i.e papaver somniferum. This belongs to family papaveraceae.
The growing more and more of plants is called
Afforestation is the establishment of a forest or stand of trees (forestation) in an area where there was no previous tree cover.
Many government and non-governmental organizations directly engage in programs of afforestation to create forests, increase carbon capture and carbon sequestration, and help to anthropogenically improve biodiversity. In the UK, afforestation may mean converting the legal status of some land to royal forest.
Coelom is cavity between alimentary canal and body wall enclosed by
By definition a true coelom is the coelom lined by mesoderm on both sides because a true coelom is produced either by splitting in the mesoderm or by fusion of mesodermally lined pouches.

Frog’s skin surface has mucous glands which makes it moist and through it moist skin it respires most of the time. So, it possess mucous glands but not sweat glands and sebaceous glands. They also possess poisonous glands to protect themselves from predators.Mammary glands are characteristic feature of mammals, whereas frogs are amphibians. So, they also do not have mammary glands.
Name the animal having both setae and nephridia
Nephridia and setae are found in Annelids. Sea Mouse is an Annelida animal. Sea Anemone and Sea Pen belong to phyla Cnidaria and Sea Urchin is an echinoderm animal. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
The most common mode of reproduction in Spirogyra is
Spirogyra species can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual, or vegetative, reproduction occurs by simple fragmentation of the filaments. Sexual reproduction occurs by a process known as conjugation, in which cells of two filaments lying side by side are joined by outgrowths called conjugation tubes.
A character common amongst centipede, spider and cockroach is
Arthropods are joint-legged animals and you must have come across a few of these animals. Some prominent ones include insects, spiders, ants, cockroach ,bees, crabs, shrimps, millipedes, centipedes etc. Scientifically speaking, they all come under the Animal Kingdom under phylum Arthropoda.
Gymnosperms do not bear fruits because they
Because gymnosperms have no ovary, they can never produce fruit. Seeds develop from the ovules that are found in the developed ovaries or fruit, but in the case of gymnosperms, the ovules are located directly on the surface of the flower or cone. Yews and ginkgoes develop fruitlike structures, but their seed is not inside these organs, which makes them gymnosperms.
Which of the following is a micro-nutrient or a trace element
Plants require this mineral (Zn) only in traces and its higher concentrations are highly toxic.
The largest sized flower in the world is produced by a plant that is a
The largest sized flower in the world is Rafflesia arnoldii which is found in Indonesia. And it is a parasitic plant which has no roots or leaves. Bcoz of that reason they use their haustoria that use to suck nutrients from the roots of other plants. So they are known as total root parasite.
Tyloses are
Tyloses are outgrowths on parenchyma cells of xylem vessels of secondary heartwood. When the plant is stressed by drought or infection, tyloses will fall from the sides of the cells and "dam" up the vascular tissue to prevent further damage to the plant.

Martynia is a monotypic genus in the Martyniaceae family consisting of a single species, Martynia annua L., which is commonly known as cat's claw, tiger's claw, or iceplant.
Arachnoid
In humans the membrane that covers the brain (and majority of the spinal cord) is called the meninges. It is a fibrous membrane of tissue composed of three layers, the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater.
Identify the correctly matched pair
Chrysanthemum is propagated vegetatively either through root suckers or terminal cuttings. Suckers : Suckers arise from the underground stem and these are separated and planted in prepared nursery beds during January for stock plants. Regular pinching is performed in these plants for vigorous and profuse branching. Some of these stock plants are used for preparation of cuttings. The first pinching is performed in April, followed by monthly pinching upto June. After 3 pinching in June, cuttings are taken from these mother plants.
The bony labyrinth is filled with
The bony labyrinth is the cavity of the inner ear. It consists of the central vestibule, the semicircular canals, and the cochlea. Inside the bony labyrinth lies a complicated membranous sac called the membranous labyrinth. The small space between the wall of the bony labyrinth and the wall of the membranous labyrinth is filled with a fluid called perilymph. The space within the membranous labyrinth is filled with endolymph.
Dorsal root ganglion is
A dorsal root ganglion also known as a posterior root ganglion, is a cluster of neurons (a ganglion) in a dorsal root of a spinal nerve. The cell bodies of sensory neurons known as first-order neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia.
What will happen if one kidney is removed from the body of a human being?
Because as we know that human have a pair of kidney and which filter our blood & removes poisonous substance from the blood. So, in that case when one kidney is removed from the body, another kidney will work and the person can survive and remain normal.
Which one results in energy wastage
Photorespiration imposes costs on plant energy metabolism. The oxygenase reaction of RUBISCO does not result in energy or carbon gain for the plant. The ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate molecule for this reaction is therefore “wasted”.
True species are
Reproductive isolation term given by Ernest Mayer. This collection is evolutionary mechenism and depend on behavior and physiological process. They prevent members of different species from producing progany or ensure that any offspring are sterile.
An attribute found in plants but NOT in animals is
A few animals have evolved to supplement their energy needs by temporarily harboring chloroplasts, having ingested them through grazing on algae . Autotrophy does not provide enough energy to fuel the activities of animals.
A clone is a group of individuals obtained through
A clone is a group of individuals obtained through micro propagation. Micropropagation is the growing of plants from meristematic tissue or somatic cells of superior plants on nutrient suitable media under controlled asceptic physical condition.
In anatropous ovule, micropyle lies
The ovule is part of the makeup of the female reproductive organ in seed plants. It’s the place where female reproductive cells are made and contained, and it is what eventually develops into a seed after fertilization, only for the seed to then ripen and produce a complete adult plant. Ovules are contained in ovaries at the bottom of a vase-like structure, the carpel, which has a neck called a style and an opening at the top, called a stigma. The body of these ovules becomes at a right angle in relation to the funicle, so it looks like the ovule is lying on its side.
An alkaloid Atropine uses for dilation of pupil is obtained from-
Atropine is a non-selective muscarinic antagonist that is mainly used as an adjunct for anaesthesia. The name "belladonna" originates from the Italian words "beautiful woman" and the historical use of herb eye-drops by women to dilate the pupils of the eyes for aesthetic purposes. Belladonna is a poisonous plant and belladonna intoxication from accidental ingestion may result in a severe anticholinergic syndrome, which is associated with both central and peripheral manifestation.
Adam's Apple represents
Adam's Apple represents thyroid cartilage of larynx which helps to protect the frontal part of the larynx.
Theory of spontaneous generation was given by
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC) was one of the earliest recorded scholars to articulate the theory of spontaneous generation, the notion that life can arise from nonliving matter. Aristotle proposed that life arose from nonliving material if the material contained pneuma (“vital heat”).
