3. Which among the following test is most suitable to judge paternity ?
[A] Blood Grouping
[B] Tissue Culture
[C] DNA Test
[D] Genetic Codes
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [DNA Test]
Notes:
DNA test is most suitable to judge paternity. It looks at specific locations of a person’s genome, in order to find or verify
ancestral genealogical relationships. It can also be used to estimate the ethnic mixture of an individual.
4. Which among the following is a correct definition of Saprophytes?
[A] A parasitic plant that can complete its life cycle independent of a host
[B] A heterotrophic plant that feeds upon other living plants
[C] A heterotrophic plant that feeds upon dead organic matter
[D] A plant that is unable to synthesize a particular organic compound
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [A heterotrophic plant that feeds upon dead organic matter]
Notes:
lysotrophic nutrition or Saprotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion which is involved in the processing of decayed organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi and soil bacteria.
5. Which instrument is used to detect ulcers in stomach?
[A] Endoscope
[B] Cystoscope
[C] Ureteroscope
[D] Cardiograph
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Endoscope]
Notes:
An endoscopy is used in medicine to look for the ulcers in the stomach. The endoscopy procedure uses an endoscope to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike many other medical imaging techniques, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ.
6. Which of the following is the process through which plants reproduce?
[A] Condensation
[B] Evaporation
[C] Pollination
[D] Eating
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [ Pollination ]
Notes:
Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves the production of male and female gametes, the transfer of the male gametes to the female ovules in a process called pollination. After pollination occurs, fertilization happens and the ovules grow into seeds within a fruit.
7. How many types of tissues are present in the body of all complex animals?
[A] 400
[B] 4000
[C] 40
[D] 4
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [4]

8. What is study of fungus Known as?
[A] Mycology
[B] Phrenology
[C] Physiology
[D] Biology
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Mycology]
Notes:
Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and their use to humans as a source for tinder, medicine, food, and entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as toxicity or infection.
9. Which of the following bacteria is responsible for the formation of curd?
[A] Yeast
[B] Lycopodium
[C] Lacto-bacillus
[D] Fungus
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Lacto-bacillus]
Notes:
Lactobacillus Bacteria in Milk changes Milk to Curd. When milk is heated to a temperature of 30-40 degrees centigrade and a small amount of old curd added to it, the lactobacillus in that curd sample gets activated and multiplies. These convert the lactose into lactic acid.
10. Which of the following crops has the highest photosynthetic activity?
[A] Cotton
[B] Sugarcane
[C] Rice
[D] Wheat
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B [Sugarcane]
Notes:
Among the above all, the sugarcane has the highest photosynthetic activity. Photosynthesis is a chemical process that occurs in many forms of bacteria and virtually all plants, including aquatic plants and algae. The rate of photosynthesis in a plant is dependent on the environmental changes, as well as to intrinsic features of plant. The photosynthetic rate in sugarcane is directly related with the variation of solar radiation during the day.
