Which of the following hormone regulates the metamorphosis of insects?

  1. Pheromone

  2. Thyroxine

  3. Ecdysone

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

  • Molting hormone or Ecdysone is produced by the prothoracic glands which regulates metamorphosis.
  • It's principle function is to stimulate a series of physiological events (collectively known as apolysis) that lead to synthesis of a new exoskeleton.
  • During this process, the new exoskeleton forms as a soft, wrinkled layer underneath the hard parts (exocuticle plus epicuticle) of the old exoskeleton.
So, the correct option is 'Ecdysone'.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Grasshoppers, cockroaches, and lice undergo incomplete metamorphosis (nymph stage), whereas mosquitoes undergo complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, adult).

Larvae of butterfly is known as

  1. Maggot

  2. Tumbler

  3. Caterpillar

  4. Coccon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out and, after its wings have expanded and dried, it flies off. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, have several generations in a year, while others have a single generation, and a few in cold locations may take several years to pass through their whole life cycle.

  2. Grasshopper

  3. Bed Bug

  4. Silver Fish.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Metamorphosis is the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages.
In complete metamorphosis, organism passes through four distinct stages in their life cycle. Moths pass through caterpillar and pupa stage while reaching from egg to adult stage, hence they undergo complete metamorphosis.
Grasshopper, silverfish and bed bug passes through the only nymph stage while reaching their adulthood from the egg stage. That is why they are examples of incomplete metamorphosis.
So, the correct option is 'Moth'.

Which of the following hormones regulates growth and metamorphosis in insects?

  1. Brain hormone

  2. Juvenile hormone

  3. Prothoracicotrophic hormone

  4. Ecdysone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,D Correct answer
Explanation

  • The process of growth and metamorphosis in insects is controlled by secretions of prothoracic glands and corpora allata which are ecdysone and juvenile hormone respectively.
  • Ecdysone stimu­lates growth and shedding of the old cuticle of the larva and the new cuticle is formed beneath the old cuticle.
  • The juvenile hormone keeps the larval cells active and also controls the qualitative changes in the body during metamorphosis.
So, the correct option is 'Juvenile hormone' and 'Ecdysone'.

The term metamorphosis is not used while describing human development. Why?

  1. It occurs only in insects

  2. Insects, fishes, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis

  3. Humans do not show metamorphosis

  4. Both B and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Metamorphosis is a biological process by which there is a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to pupa and from the pupa to adult. Some insects, fishes, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis. Humans do not undergo metamorphosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'

Metamorphosis is studied under

  1. Neurology

  2. Embryology

  3. Cardiology

  4. Physiology
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Neurology is the study of structure and function of neurons. 

Embryology is the study of the formation and development of an embryo and fetus. 
Metamorphosis is a process by which an animal physically develops after birth from egg or embryo to adult form. Hence, metamorphosis is studied under embryology. 
Cardiology is the study of structure and function of the heart. 
Physiology is the study of normal functions of organisms and their parts.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Embryology'.

Multiple choice biology animal lore types of reproduction in animals oviparous and viviparous butterfly and honey bee

Which of the following statements is not correct regarding oviparous animals?

  1. Females lay fertilised/unfertilised eggs at a safe place

  2. Development of zygote takes place outside the female's body

  3. Examples of oviparous animals are all birds, most reptiles and egg-laying mammals

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Oviparous animals are animals that lay eggs. Fertilization can be external or internal, but hatching always takes place in the external environment, never in the mother's womb. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and even occasionally some mammals, are oviparous. These animals usually lay their eggs in well-protected nests, where the embryo develops inside the egg before hatching. 
So, the correct option is 'none of these'.
