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

Cow is a placental mammal. Once it gives birth to a calf it grows outside the cow's body.

Young one of Kangaroo is known as Joey.
So the correct answer is 'Outside the cow's body'.

Viviparity is found in

  1. Sharks

  2. Lizards

  3. Frogs

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

In viviparous animals, females give birth to young ones. The development of zygote takes place inside the female's body. Females deliver young ones and the chances of survival of offsprings are more. Mammals (except egg-laying mammals), like whale, shark, mouse, humans are examples of viviparous animals.

So, the correct answer is 'Sharks'.

C Correct answer
Explanation
A. Amoeba is a single-celled eukaryotic organism that moves by the means of pseudopodia.
B. Paramoecium is a unicellular eukaryotic organism. It is a ciliate.
C. Human beings are the multicellular primates, scientifically known as Homo sapiens.
So, the correct answer is 'Human beings'.

Which one from the following is an example of multicellular organism?

  1. Chlamydomonas

  2. Bacteria

  3. Snake

  4. Amoeba
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
The cell is the structural unit of life. Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell that performs all the functions e.g., bacteria, amoeba, Chlamydomonas. Whereas, multicellular organisms are made up of numbers of cells and a differnt group of cells perform a different function to maintain life. Snake is an example of the multicellular eukaryotic organism.

Efficient large-sized cells are

  1. Elongated

  2. Elongated or branched

  3. With large surface area

  4. Having microvilli
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

  • Generally, cells are small so they can have an efficient surface area to volume ratio. Cells are so small so they can diffuse faster and all their processes will be a lot faster because of the smaller size of the cell.
  • For the large sized cells to become Efficient the cells must be elongated in order to have an efficient surface area to volume ratio.
  • Hence efficient large-sized cells are elongated.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Elongated'.

    Which of following organisms can be seen only under the microscope?

    1. Unicellular

    2. Multicellular

    3. Vertebrates

    4. All of the above
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    A Correct answer
    Explanation
    • Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic size and are thus classified as microorganisms, for example, Phytoplankton and protozoa range from about 0.001 mm to about 0.25 mm.
    • Most of the multicellular organisms and vertebrates are visible to the naked eye, which means that it is possible to view them without using the microscope.
      So, option A is the correct answer.

    Which one is enucleated?

    1. Squamous epithelial cells

    2. Mature leucocyte of man

    3. Mature erythrocyte of frog

    4. Mature erythrocyte of man

    5. Osteocyte in man
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    D Correct answer
    Explanation

    • Enucleation is the phenomenon in which the nucleus is removed. Enucleation occurs roughly when the cell has reached maturity.
    • Red blood cells or Erythrocytes are initially produced in the bone marrow with a nucleus. They then undergo a process known as enucleation.
    • Enucleation allows the red blood cell to contain more hemoglobin and therefore, carry more oxygen molecules. It also allows the cell to have its distinctive bi-concave shape which aids diffusion. This shape would not be possible if the cell had a nucleus in the way. Hence mature erythrocyte of man is enucleated.
    • So, the correct answer is 'Mature erythrocyte of man'.

    Forthe formation of diploid cells from haploid cells, colchicine is used to

    1. Stop the spindle fibres formation

    2. Replicate DNA twicely in one cell cycle

    3. Stop the formation of centromere

    4. Stop the mitotic division
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    A Correct answer
    Explanation

    Colchicine is an alkaloid that inhibits microtubule polymerization by binding to tubulin. This prevents the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis, leading to polyploidy.

    Growth at cellular level, is principally a consequence of increase in the amount of

    1. Protoplasm

    2. DNA

    3. Cell wall

    4. Cell organelles
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    A Correct answer
    Explanation

    Protoplasm comprises of cytoplasm, nucleus and other cell organelles. Growth at cellular level includes increase in size of nucleus and other cell organelles. The growth at cellular level is a result of increase in amount of protoplasm.

    Thus, the correct answer is 'Protoplasm.'
