B Correct answer
Explanation

Advanced anagen is the stage where the hair follicle is fully developed and reaches its maximum depth in the skin. Early anagen is the beginning of growth, while catagen and telogen are regression and resting phases.

Multiple choice
  1. anagen

  2. early anagen

  3. catagen

  4. telogen

C Correct answer
Explanation

During the catagen phase, the hair follicle shrinks and the base of the hair keratinizes to form a club hair as it detaches from the dermal papilla.

Multiple choice biology reproduction in humans twins reproduction and modern technology post fertilization events

Two offspring developed in the same uterus from fertilization of two different ova are

  1. Monozygotic twins

  2. Dizygotic twins

  3. Fraternal twins

  4. Both B and C

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Monozygotic twins are those twins in which is zygote is fertilized by one sperm and during the cleavage, it gets divided into two separate zygotes. These type of twins are exactly identical.

In case of dizygotic or fraternal twins, there are two zygotes which are fertilized individually by two different sperms.
In monozygotic twins, the sexes will always be the same for both the offsprings but in case of dizygotic twins it may not be the case. One offspring can be a male and other can be a female.
So, the correct option is 'Both B and C'

Multiple choice biology reproduction in humans twins reproduction and modern technology post fertilization events

Which are the two offspring developed in the same uterus but from fertilization of two different ova?

  1. Dizygotic twins

  2. Monozygotic twin

  3. Fraternal twins

  4. Both A and C

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Dizygotic twins may occur if two or more oocytes are released in one cycle. If each is fertilized, dizygotic twins may result. Fertility drugs are a common cause for dizygotic twins, but other factors, like family history, maternal age or weight, can also lead to dizygotic twinning. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Multiple choice mitosis structure of chromosome, cell cycle and cell division cell division biology cell division in embryo development division for growth and reproduction

Basement membrane is formed of.

  1. Epidermal cells

  2. Endodermal cells

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above but present below epithelial cells

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

All epithelia are separated from their underlying tissues by an extracellular basement membrane which is fibrous in nature. The basement membrane is the fusion of two lamina namely, the basal lamina and the reticular lamina. The lamina reticularis is attached to the basal lamina with collagen anchoring fibrils and fibrillin microfibrils. The two layers together are collectively referred to as the basement membrane.

So D is the correct option.

During the development of embryo which of the following occur first 

  1. Differentiation of tissue

  2. Differentiation of cells

  3. Differentiation of organs

  4. Differentiation of organ system

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Blastula differentiate into various regions and cells (blastomeres) of a particular region form a particular part of adult body, hence these areas are called presumptive areas and at this stage if cells of a particular area removed the adult lacks a particular part from its body.

Which distinguishes a morula from a blastula 

  1. Presence of more yolk

  2. Absence of yolk

  3. Presence of a cavity

  4. Absence of a cavity

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In microlecithal eggs or alecithal eggs, the cleavage results in the production of closely packed blastomeres. The stage in which solid mass of blastomeres appears is said to be morula, whereas blastula is hollow with a cavity known as blastocoel.

Multiple choice production of blood cells body fluids and circulation biology

Highly Haematopoietic organs in embryo are ___________.

  1. Spleen

  2. Lymph-nodes

  3. Bone -marrow

  4. All

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Hematopoiesis is the formation of blood cellular components. In developing embryo, blood formation occurs in aggregates of blood cells in the yolk sac called, blood islands. As development progresses, blood formation occurs in the spleen, lymph nodes, and liver. 


So the answer is "All"

Embryo with more than $16$ blastomeres formed due to in vitro fertilisation into.

  1. uterus

  2. Fallopian tube

  3. fimbriae

  4. cervix

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In vitro fertilization stands for fertilization outside the body in almost similar condition as that in the body is a method of assisted reproductive technology. In this method to ovum from the wife or donor and sperm from the husband of doner are collected and fused to form zygote in the simulated condition in the laboratory. The zygote or the early embryo up to 8 blastomeres is transferred into the fallopian tube which is known as zygote intrafallopian transfer when the embryos are more than 8 blastomeres then they are transferred into the uterus and this is known as an intrauterine transfer.

So, the correct option is 'uterus'

Body cavity of animals derived from Blastocoel is known as

  1. Pseudocoelom

  2. Schizocoelom

  3. Enterocoelom

  4. Haemocoel

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Schizocoelom develops as a split in the mesoderm, e.g.-Arthropods, Annelids, and Molluscs. Enterocoelom is derived from the wall of embryonic gut, e.g.-Echinoderms, and Chordates. Haemocoel is the blood-filled cavity of arthropods. Pseudocoelom is also known as a false cavity.

Multiple choice zoology respiration in organisms respiration in human beings respiration and associated structures respiration in humans

Respiratory system is derived from

  1. Ectoderm

  2. Endoderm

  3. Both A and B

  4. Endoderm and mesoderm

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • The respiratory system represents the organs that are involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the organism and the environment.
  • In animals, a primary layer of cells is formed during embryogenesis, three in number and are differentiated as ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The tissues produced by these layers give rise to the organs of the body. 
  • The respiratory tract with tracheae, bronchi, alveoli of the lungs is developed from the endoderm. The mesoderm forms the mesothelium from which lines the thoracic cavity and external intercostal muscles.
    Hence, the correct answer is D.

  1. Endodermis

  2. Cortex

  3. Both of (A) and (B)

  4. Epidermis

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Histogen theory was proposed by Hanstein in 1870. According to this theory,  shoot apical meristem consists three distinct zones namely, dermatogen (external layer) which form outer covering of all organ of plant. Periblem (middle layer) which gives rise to cortex and endodermis. Plerome (central layer) which forms pith and primary vascular bundle. 
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Multiple choice biology animal tissue muscular tissues muscle tissue muscle tissues
