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.

Answer: Option B. -> Oxytocin
Oxytocin causes emotional disturbance.
Oxytocin causes emotional disturbance.
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.

Answer: Option A. -> Females and expressed by males
Haemophilia is a hereditary disease carried by females and expressed by males.
Haemophilia is a hereditary disease carried by females and expressed by males.
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.

Answer: Option A. -> Day
The photosynthesis occurs in the day.
The photosynthesis occurs in the day.
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.

Answer: Option D. -> Glucose
The oxygen released during photosynthesis process comes from glucose.
The oxygen released during photosynthesis process comes from glucose.
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.
