Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Condom prevents the individual from both unwanted pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted diseases because it prevents the transfer of body fluid between two partners.

Q2. The life span of RBC and WBC are respectively
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Red blood cells (RBC) live for 120 days and white blood cells (WBC) live for 90 days. Afterwards they are degraded in spleen.

Q3. Which one is important in nutrient recycle and act as decomposer and mineralisers of the biosphere
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Fungi is important in nutrient cycle and acts as decomposer along with bacteria and mininerlisers of the biosphere to regular recycling of nutrients in the biosphere.

Q4. Which of the following could be most intense and strongest?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Intraspecific competition could be most intense and strongest as it occurs between organisms having same types of requirement of food, water etc. They may have competition for food, shelter, water, space or mat also.

Q5.

In the Enteric nervous system :
i. neurons of Myentric plexus regulates glandular secretions in GI tract.
ii. neurons of Meissner’s plexus regulates peristaltic waves.


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The enteric nervous system or ENS or intrinsic nervous system is one of the main nervous system of neuron that governs the functioning of gastrointestinal system.

Q6. Which one is matched with LSD?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Lysergic acid diethylamide is one of the most potent mood changing chemicals manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in ergot fungus that grow on rye and other grains.

Q7. Among the following correct matches for ear parts and functions are :
column A
a) cristae
b) cerumen
c) organ of corti
d) maculae

column B
i) responsible for lubrication and protection
ii) responsible for dynamic equilibrium
iii)responsible for static equilibrium
iv) responsible for hearing
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The cristae present in internal ear is responsible for dynamic equilibrium. Cerumen is responsible for lubrication and protection. Organ of corti is responsible for hearing and maculae is responsible for static equilibrium of thebody.

Q8. SER differ from RER in
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) differ from rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) in absence of ribosome on the surface of endoplasmic reticulum.

Q9. Degeneracy of genetic code is due to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The genetic code is the set of "rules" that a cell uses to interpret the nucleotide sequence within a molecule of mRNA. This sequence is broken into a series of three-nucleotide units known as codons.

The three-letter nature of codons means that the four nucleotides found in mRNA — A, U, G, and C — can produce a total of 64 different combinations. Of these 64 codons, 61 represent amino acids, and the remaining three represent stop signals, which trigger the end of protein synthesis.

Because there are only 20 different amino acids but 64 possible codons, most amino acids are indicated by more than one codon. ( however, that each codon represents only one amino acid or stop codon.).

This phenomenon is known as redundancy or degeneracy, and it is important to the genetic code because it minimizes the harmful effects that incorrectly placed nucleotides can have on protein synthesis.
