Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Influenza is commonly known as 'flu' and is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year.

  1. Aedes

  2. Male Anopheles

  3. Female Anopheles

  4. Tsetse fly

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aedes aegypti, the principal mosquito vector of dengue viruses is an insect closely associated with humans and their dwellings. People not only provide the mosquitoes with blood meals but also water-holding containers in and around the home needed to complete their development. The mosquito lays her eggs on the sides of containers with water and eggs hatch into larvae after a rain or flooding. A larva changes into a pupa in about a week and into a mosquito in two days.

  1. Plague

  2. Kala azar

  3. Small pox

  4. Influenza

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Smallpox is a very serious illness caused by a virus, called the variolavirus. Smallpox gets its name from the pus-filled blisters (or pocks), that form during the illness. Small pox is an acute highly communicable disease. It is caused by virus named variolavirus. Now it is nearly eradicated from India.

What are plant-like protists collectively called?

  1. Protozoans

  2. Algae

  3. Fungi

  4. Pseudopodia

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The five kingdom classification was proposed by R. H. Whittaker which classifies all the living organisms into these five kingdoms. The Protista is a kingdom of simple single-celled eukaryotic organisms. They have well-developed cell organelles on the basis of which they have been classified into plant and animals like protists. The plant-like protists have chlorophyll, can perform photosynthesis and are collectively known as protists.
Thus, the correct answer is option B. 

A group of biology students were studying about the algae. They prepared a sample slide using a water sample drawn from a puddle. While observing the sample under microscope, they noted that those were living in the colony and the colony was coated with a jelly-like substance. Using these hints identify the organism.

  1. Ulva

  2. Sargassum

  3. Volvox

  4. Diatom

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Volvox is a freshwater green alga. It is found in multicellular colonies. These colonies are known as "coenobium". They also move together in colonies.

So, in this case, option C " Volvox" is the correct answer.

Colourless, unicellular, cell wall bound, spherical or rod-shaped micro-organism lacking organized nucleus is called as

  1. Mycoplasma

  2. Virus

  3. Bacteria

  4. Cyanobacteria

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to five kingdom classification, bacteria are placed in kingdom monera. Organisms of kingdom monera are single celled and they have cell wall made up of peptidoglycans. Their nuclear membrane is absent, have single chromosome and do not have membrane bound cell organelles. DNA is double stranded and suspended in cytoplasm (called nucleoid).

  1. Porifera

  2. Protozoa

  3. Platyhelminthes

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The kingdom protozoa include single-celled eukaryotic organisms. Amoeba is a single-celled eukaryotic organism that has no definite shape and that moves by means of pseudopodia. As amoeba is single-celled eukaryotic organism it is placed is kingdom Protozoa.
So, the correct answer is 'Protozoa'.
