Question 1

The correct sequence of different phases of cell cycle is

  • S - G1 - G2 - M

  • G1 - S - G2 - M

  • G2 - S - G1 - M

  • G1 - G2 - S - M

Solution

B.

G1 - S - G2 - M

The complete cell cycle contains a sequence of phases which are

(a) Interphase which is further subdivided into G1-phase or postmitotic gap, S-phase or synthesis phase and G2-phase or premitotic gap respectively 

(b) Dividing phase or M-phase (mitotic or meiotic phase) which comprises karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

So, the correct sequence of phases in cell cycle is

G1 G2 M

Question 2

Animals are classified into hierarchical groups in which one of the following, the largest number of species is found?

  • Genus

  • Order

  • Family

  • Cohort

Solution

D.

Cohort

Cohort is a formal taxonomic category in between infra- class and super- order in plant kingdom but not in animals.

Class Sub Class Infra Class Cohort Super Order Order

Question 3

The blood vessel which supply oxygenated blood to cardiac tissue is

  • coronary artery

  • coronary vein

  • coronary sinus

  • pulmonary vein

Solution

A.

coronary artery

Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle (cardiac tissue) with blood rich in oxygen.

Coronary sinus is a collection of veins joined together to form a large vessel that collects blood from the heart muscle. It carries less oxygenated blood to the right atrium as do the superior and inferior vena cavae.

Pulmonary veins are the veins that transfer oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. The largest pulmonary veins are the four main pulmonary veins, two from each lung that drain into the left atrium of the heart.

Question 4

Vegus nerve is a

  • mixed X cranial nerve

  • mixed XI cranial nerve 

  • mixed X thoracic nerve

  • sensory X cranial nerve

Solution

A.

mixed X cranial nerve

Vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve of mixed nature. It innervates to the chest, abdomen and heart.

Question 5

The number of spinal nerves in human is

  • 10 pairs

  • 12 pairs

  • 43 pairs

  • 31 pairs

Solution

D.

31 pairs

Man has 31 pairs of spinal nerves. These are

(a) Cervical 8 pairs in neck
(b) Thoracic- 12 pairs in thorax
(c) Lumbar- 5 pairs in upper part of abdomen
(d) Sacral 5 pairs in lower part of abdomen
(e) Coccygeal tail nerve.

Frog has 10 pairs of spinal nerves, while rabbit has 37 pairs of spinal nerves.
