Question 21. Which of the following glands is both endocrine and exocrine?
  1.    Pancreas
  2.    Pituitary
  3.    Adrenal
  4.    Pineal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Pancreas
The liver and pancreas are both exocrine and endocrine glands; they are exocrine glands because they secrete products—bile and pancreatic juice—into the gastrointestinal tract through a series of ducts, and endocrine because they secrete other substances directly into the bloodstream.
Question 22. Which hormone causes emotional disturbance?
  1.    Thyroxine
  2.    Oxytocin
  3.    Vasopressin
  4.    Adrenalin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Oxytocin
Oxytocin causes emotional disturbance.
Question 23. The chromosome number 2n is known as
  1.    Haploid number
  2.    Diploid number
  3.    Triploid number
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Diploid number
In sexually reproducing organisms, the number of chromosomes in the body (somatic) cells typically is diploid (2n; a pair of each chromosome), twice the haploid (1n) number found in the sex cells, or gametes.
Question 24. Haemophilia is a hereditary disease carried by
  1.    Females and expressed by males
  2.    Males and expressed by males
  3.    Females and expressed by females
  4.    Males and expressed by females
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Females and expressed by males
Haemophilia is a hereditary disease carried by females and expressed by males.
Question 25. The sex of a newborn baby is determined by the chromosome inherited from
  1.    The Father
  2.    The Mother
  3.    The Father's Father
  4.    Both A & B
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> The Father
The sex of a baby is determined by two sex chromosomes inherited from both the genetic parents. A baby will normally inherit one sex chromosome from the mother and one from the father. A woman has two X chromosomes and thus gives either of her X chromosomes. The father has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, can give either his X or Y chromosome. The egg (from the mother) already contains an X chromosome. Therefore the sex of a baby is determined by the X or Y chromosome of the sperm cell from the father.
Question 26. Gaseous exchange takes place in leaves through tiny pores for the purpose of photosynthesis. What are these pores?
  1.    Chloroplast
  2.    Stomata
  3.    Chlorophyl
  4.    Vacuole
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Stomata
Stomata are tiny, microscopic pores that critical for photosynthesis.
Question 27. The photosynthesis occurs in the
  1.    Day
  2.    Night
  3.    Day and Night
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Day
The photosynthesis occurs in the day.
Question 28. In plants, photosynthesis mainly occurs in the
  1.    Leaves
  2.    Flowers
  3.    Root
  4.    Bark
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Leaves
In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain disc-shaped structures called thylakoids, which contain the pigment chlorophyll.
Question 29. The oxygen released during photosynthesis process comes from
  1.    H2O
  2.    CO2
  3.    NO2
  4.    Glucose
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Glucose
The oxygen released during photosynthesis process comes from glucose.
Question 30. Which one is important in photosynthesis to allows plants to absorb energy from light?
  1.    Xanthophyll
  2.    Carotene
  3.    Chlorophyll
  4.    Phaeophytin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Chlorophyll
Photosynthetic cells contain special pigments that absorb light energy. Different pigments respond to different wavelengths of visible light. Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly.
