A Correct answer
Explanation
The term innominate means unnamed or anonymous. It is often used to refer to certain anatomical structures that have a descriptive name rather than precise ones. In humans this termed is used to refer to the hip bone and brachiocephalic artery.

An example of chitinous exoskeleton is

  1. Oriole

  2. Sea stars

  3. Clam

  4. Honeybee

  5. Earthworm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

  • A tough, semitransparent substance that is the main component of the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as the shells of crustaceans and the outer coverings of insects(honey bee). 
  • Chitin is also found in the cell walls of certain fungi and algae. Chemically, it is a nitrogenous polysaccharide (a carbohydrate). Hence, An example of a chitinous exoskeleton is Honeybee.
So, the correct answer is 'Honeybee'.

Cockroaches have an outer skeleton.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
An exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body. Examples of animals with exoskeletons include insects such as grasshoppers and cockroaches, and crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters.
Cockroaches are winged insects found in nearly every part of the world. Like most other insects, cockroaches have an exoskeleton, meaning their skeleton is located on the outside of their bodies. They have three simple body parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen.
Hence, the answer is true.

Which joint is more flexible in males than females?

  1. Public symphysis

  2. Deltoid ridge

  3. Deltoid tuberosity

  4. Sacroiliac joint
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The hip girdle is located in the lower part of the trunk. 

It is made up of three bones that are upper ileum, lower ischium and the pubis.
The acetabulum is formed by ileum, ischium and pubis but in mammals, the pubis is replaced by the cotyloid bone.

The pubic symphysis is present in mammals. The two innominate bones and sacrum together form a sort of bowel.
This is also an adaptation for the upright posture of the human body. The female pelvis is larger and has a broader front and larger bottom opening than the male pelvis. This is an adaptation for childbirth.

So, the correct option is 'Public symphysis'

Supination means turning plan

  1. Upward

  2. Forward

  3. Downward backward

  4. Bending

  5. Straightening
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Pronation and supination are a pair of unique movements possible only in the forearms and hands, allowing the human body to flip the palm either face up or face down. The muscles, bones, and joints of the human forearm are specifically arranged to permit these unique and important rotations of the hands. So, the correct option is "A" (Upward).
