Bayanin Amsa
One of the major criticisms against Mendelian laws is that they do not recognize that one trait is often controlled by many pairs of genes. In other words, Mendelian laws assume that a single gene is responsible for determining a particular trait, when in fact, many traits are determined by multiple genes working together. This concept is known as polygenic inheritance and it plays an important role in determining many traits such as height, skin color, and intelligence. Therefore, the Mendelian laws provide an oversimplified view of genetic inheritance and do not fully account for the complexity of genetic traits.

Bayanin Amsa
The use of predators or parasites to control pests in the farm is known as biological control. This method involves introducing natural enemies, such as predatory insects or parasitic wasps, to control pest populations. The predators or parasites feed on the pests, reducing their numbers without harming the crops. Biological control is considered a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to pest management compared to chemical control, which involves the use of pesticides that can be harmful to non-target organisms and the environment.

Which of the following is the medium of transportation of nutrients with unicellular organisms?
Bayanin Amsa
Among the options given, the medium of transportation of nutrients with unicellular organisms is protoplasm. Protoplasm is a jelly-like substance that makes up the entire cell of unicellular organisms. It contains all the organelles and structures necessary for the cell to carry out its functions, including the transportation of nutrients. In unicellular organisms, nutrients enter the cell through the cell membrane and are transported throughout the cell via the protoplasm. The protoplasm also helps to eliminate waste products from the cell. Blood, serum, plasma, and lymph are all fluids found in multicellular organisms that are used for transportation of nutrients and waste products, but they are not relevant for unicellular organisms as they do not have specialized circulatory systems.

Which of the following is not an adaptation of plants or animals to desert environment?
Bayanin Amsa
The adaptation that is not related to the desert environment is "Broad leaves for storage". In the desert, water is scarce, so plants and animals need to adapt to conserve water. Well-developed taproot systems help plants reach deep water sources, while small leaves with thick epidermis help reduce water loss through transpiration. Stems with spike-like leaves also help plants reduce water loss by reducing surface area exposed to sunlight. Some desert animals excrete metabolic waste in the form of uric acid instead of urea because it requires less water to excrete. This helps them conserve water in their bodies. However, broad leaves are not an adaptation that helps plants or animals survive in the desert. In fact, broad leaves would be disadvantageous in the desert environment because they have a large surface area, which means more water loss through transpiration. Therefore, broad leaves are not an adaptation to the desert environment.

Which of the following substances cannot control the growth of harmful microoganisms?
Bayanin Amsa
Isotonic sugar solution cannot control the growth of harmful microorganisms. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is the same as that of the cells in the environment. Therefore, isotonic sugar solutions do not create an environment that is unfavorable for the growth of microorganisms. In fact, isotonic sugar solutions can actually promote the growth of some microorganisms that can metabolize the sugar. On the other hand, antibiotics, hypertonic salt solution, disinfectants, and antiseptics can control the growth of harmful microorganisms. Antibiotics are substances that can kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, while hypertonic salt solution, disinfectants, and antiseptics work by disrupting the cell membrane or other structures of the microorganisms, leading to their death or inhibition of growth.

The conditions that ensure successful exchange of gases in multicellular organisms include the following except
Bayanin Amsa
The exchange of gases in multicellular organisms, such as humans, is crucial for respiration. This process occurs in the respiratory organs, such as lungs, where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released. To ensure successful gas exchange, there must be a concentration gradient across the respiratory surface, meaning that there is a difference in the concentration of gases on either side of the respiratory surface, allowing for diffusion to occur. The respiratory surface must also be thin to facilitate diffusion of gases across it. Additionally, there must be a large surface area of the respiratory organ to maximize the exchange of gases. The last transportation of absorbed gases, such as oxygen, to the rest of the body is also important for successful gas exchange. However, the presence of a small, dry surface area of the respiratory organ would not ensure successful gas exchange, as it would not provide enough surface area for gas exchange, and the dry surface would not allow for efficient diffusion of gases. Therefore, this option is the one that does not ensure successful gas exchange in multicellular organisms.

Both typical animal cells and typical plant cells have a cell membrane. The cell membrane is a thin, flexible layer that surrounds the cell and acts as a protective barrier. It controls what enters and exits the cell, allowing nutrients to enter and waste to leave. While there are some differences in the structure and function of cell membranes in animal and plant cells, the presence of this organelle is a shared similarity between the two cell types.

Which of the following organisms reduces nitrates in the soil to gaseous nitrogen?
Bayanin Amsa
The organism that reduces nitrates in the soil to gaseous nitrogen is the denitrifying bacterium. These bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas, which is released into the atmosphere. This process is called denitrification, and it is an essential part of the nitrogen cycle. Without denitrifying bacteria, nitrates would accumulate in the soil, which could lead to problems like eutrophication and decreased soil fertility. In summary, denitrifying bacteria play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy soil environment by converting excess nitrates into nitrogen gas.

Bayanin Amsa
A climax community is characterized by a stable composition of plant and animal species. This means that over time, the community has reached a balance where the different species are able to coexist and maintain a relatively constant population size. The community has reached a state of equilibrium where the different species have found their niche and are able to survive and reproduce. Unlike earlier stages of succession, where there are rapid changes in the composition of species, a climax community has reached a state of balance where the number of species remains relatively constant. Although there may be some gradual changes in animal population, the overall structure of the community remains stable.

The conditions that ensure successful exchange of gases in multicellular organisms include the following except
Bayanin Amsa
The exchange of gases in multicellular organisms is crucial for their survival. This process occurs between the respiratory surface and the surrounding environment. To ensure successful gas exchange, several conditions need to be met. Firstly, there must be a concentration gradient across the respiratory surface. This means that there should be a difference in the concentration of gases between the organism's respiratory surface and the surrounding environment. This difference drives the movement of gases across the respiratory surface, allowing for gas exchange to occur. Secondly, the respiratory surface must be thin. A thin respiratory surface allows for gases to diffuse quickly between the organism and its surroundings. Thirdly, the absorbed gases need to be transported to where they are needed in the body. This is usually achieved through the circulatory system, which transports gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the respiratory surface. Fourthly, the respiratory organ must have a large surface area to facilitate the exchange of gases. A larger surface area means that there is more space for gas exchange to occur, which increases the efficiency of the process. Finally, the respiratory organ must have a moist surface area. This is because gases diffuse more easily through moist surfaces than dry ones. Therefore, the presence of a small, dry surface area of the respiratory organ would not ensure successful exchange of gases in multicellular organisms.

Which of the following is a function of the chromosome?
Bayanin Amsa
The function of chromosomes is to transmit hereditary traits from one generation to the next. Chromosomes are made up of DNA, which carries the genetic information that determines the traits of an individual. When an organism reproduces, its chromosomes are passed down to its offspring, ensuring that the traits are inherited. Protein synthesis, enzyme manufacture, energy production, and excretion are not functions of chromosomes, but rather, functions of other cellular components such as ribosomes, mitochondria, and other organelles.

When an axon is at rest, the concentration of ions on either side of the membrane are different. Which of the following is correct about the concentrations of ions on either side of the membrane?
Bayanin Amsa
The correct statement is that there is an excess of potassium ions inside the axon and an excess of sodium ions outside. When an axon is at rest, the concentration of sodium ions is higher outside the cell membrane, while the concentration of potassium ions is higher inside the cell membrane. This difference in ion concentration generates an electrochemical gradient across the membrane, which creates an electrical potential difference across the axon. This potential difference is called the resting membrane potential, and it is negative inside the axon compared to the outside. So, is partially correct, but it is the result of the difference in ion concentrations mentioned above. is incorrect because there is actually an excess of sodium ions on the outer side of the axon, not the inner side. is also incorrect because chloride ions do not play a significant role in generating the resting membrane potential, although they can influence it during action potentials. is also incorrect because calcium ions are not the primary ions involved in the resting membrane potential.

Which of the following is the underling principle in the adoption of biological control of pests?
Bayanin Amsa
The underlying principle in the adoption of biological control of pests is the predator-prey relationship in the ecological community. Biological control involves the use of living organisms, such as predators or parasites, to control pests and reduce their damage to crops. This method is based on the understanding that there is a natural balance in ecosystems, and that predators can keep the population of pests in check. By introducing natural enemies of pests, such as predators or parasites, the natural balance is restored, and the need for chemical pesticides is reduced. Therefore, the predator-prey relationship is the key principle behind the adoption of biological control of pests.

Bayanin Amsa
One of the factors that must be considered for safe blood transfusion is the compatibility of the rhesus factors between the donor and the recipient. The rhesus factor is a protein that is present on the surface of red blood cells, and it can be either positive or negative. If a person with a positive rhesus factor receives blood from a person with a negative rhesus factor, their immune system may see the red blood cells as foreign and attack them, leading to potentially life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is important to match the rhesus factors between the donor and the recipient before a blood transfusion to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

Which of the following mineral salts is a trace element?
Bayanin Amsa
The mineral salt that is a trace element is Zinc. Trace elements are minerals that are needed by the body in small amounts to carry out essential functions. Zinc is an important trace element that plays a vital role in many biological processes, such as immune function, wound healing, and protein synthesis. Carbon, hydrogen, and calcium are not trace elements because they are needed in much larger amounts by the body and are not considered to be trace elements. Carbon and hydrogen are the building blocks of all living things, while calcium is an essential mineral that is required for strong bones and teeth, among other functions. Potassium is not a trace element either, but it is an essential mineral that helps to regulate fluid balance in the body and supports proper muscle and nerve function.

The groups of sensory cells found on the upper surface of the tongue are called "taste buds." Taste buds are small structures that are responsible for detecting different tastes, such as sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. They are located on the tongue, as well as on the roof of the mouth and in the throat. When food or drink enters the mouth, the taste buds send signals to the brain, which interprets the taste. Taste buds also play a role in detecting potential toxins, which can help protect us from ingesting harmful substances.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of overcrowding in plant and animal community?
Bayanin Amsa
The characteristic of "increase in primary production" is not directly related to overcrowding in plant and animal communities. Overcrowding occurs when the population of a species exceeds the available resources, such as space and food, leading to increased competition within the population. This competition can lead to negative effects on the health and survival of individuals within the population. While an increase in primary production may provide more resources for a population, it is not necessarily indicative of overcrowding, as other factors such as environmental conditions and resource allocation can also affect primary production.

The division of labor in social insects is an example of behavioral adaptation. Social insects, such as ants, bees, and termites, have evolved to work together in organized colonies, where each individual performs specific tasks according to their abilities and needs of the colony. This division of labor is not predetermined by the insect's physical characteristics, but rather determined by their behavior and interactions with other members of the colony. This behavioral adaptation allows for the efficient functioning and survival of the colony as a whole.

The tropical rainforest is a type of forest characterized by several features. Among these features, there is an abundant water supply, loose and moist soil, short trees growing beneath tall trees, and the presence of many animals. However, one of these options does not belong, which is "scanty trees with small leaves." In fact, the opposite is true for tropical rainforests; they are known for having a dense canopy of tall trees with large leaves that block most of the sunlight from reaching the forest floor. As a result, only a small amount of light filters through to the ground, which limits the growth of understory plants and makes it difficult for small trees with small leaves to thrive. Instead, the forest floor is usually covered in a layer of decomposing plant material, which helps to enrich the soil and support the growth of larger trees.

Lamarck's theory of evolution can be summarized by the statement: "the changing environment imposes structural, physiological, and behavioral changes in organisms." This means that Lamarck believed that organisms could adapt to their environment by developing new traits and characteristics in response to the challenges posed by their surroundings. According to Lamarck, these changes could be passed down to future generations, resulting in the evolution of new species over time. This is in contrast to the theory of natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin, which posits that the fittest individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to their offspring.

Which of the following does not illustrate adaptation to the environment ?
Bayanin Amsa
The option that does not illustrate adaptation to the environment is "Development of big muscles by a weightlifter." Adaptation refers to a trait or characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment. The other options listed all describe physical features that have evolved over time to help organisms survive in their environments. Color changes by a chameleon help it blend into its surroundings and avoid predators or catch prey. The streamlined shape of fishes helps them move through water more efficiently and catch prey. Light bones in birds help them fly more easily. Possession of fins by fishes helps them swim and maneuver in water. On the other hand, the development of big muscles by a weightlifter is a conscious choice that has nothing to do with survival in the natural environment. While weightlifting may help an individual become stronger, it is not a biological adaptation that has evolved over time in response to environmental pressures.

The property of clay soil that prevents it from supporting thick vegetation is its tendency of becoming waterlogged. Clay soil has small spaces between its particles that can trap water, leading to poor drainage and a lack of oxygen in the soil. This makes it difficult for plants to grow deep roots and absorb the nutrients they need to thrive. As a result, clay soil can be challenging to cultivate, and often requires amendments like sand or organic matter to improve its structure and drainage.

Which of the following organs is associated with deamination of proteins?
Bayanin Amsa
The organ that is associated with deamination of proteins is the liver. Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids. When proteins are broken down in the body, they are typically first broken into their constituent amino acids. The liver then plays a key role in removing the amino group (which contains nitrogen) from the amino acids, in a process called deamination. Deamination is important because the body needs to get rid of excess nitrogen that can be harmful if it builds up. The liver converts the nitrogen into a compound called urea, which can then be safely excreted by the kidneys in urine. So, in summary, the liver is the organ responsible for deaminating amino acids and converting the resulting nitrogen into urea, which is excreted by the kidneys.

In which of the following processes is carbondioxide not given out?
Bayanin Amsa
Carbon dioxide is not given out during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in by plants, and using the energy from sunlight, it is converted into glucose and oxygen. Therefore, carbon dioxide is not given out during photosynthesis. On the other hand, carbon dioxide is given out during respiration in plants, decay of organisms, burning of organic matter, and burning of fuels. Respiration is the process by which plants and animals convert glucose and oxygen into energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Decay of organisms involves the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms, which releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Burning of organic matter and fuels involves the combustion of carbon-containing materials, which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Which of the following diseases is caused by deficiency of insulin in the body?
Bayanin Amsa
The disease caused by deficiency of insulin in the body is diabetes mellitus. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. In people with diabetes, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't effectively use the insulin it produces. Without enough insulin, the body can't properly regulate the amount of glucose in the blood, which can lead to high blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar levels can cause damage to various organs and tissues in the body, leading to a range of health problems. Symptoms of diabetes can include increased thirst and urination, fatigue, blurry vision, and slow-healing wounds. Treatment typically involves managing blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication, including insulin injections for people with type 1 diabetes who can't produce enough insulin on their own.
