Q2
Which pair is correct?
A Sebum = sexual attraction
B Saliva = sense of food taste
C Sweat = temperature regulation
D Humerus = Hind leg

Q3
The kind of tissue that forms the supportive structure in our pinna (external ears) is also found in
A vertebrae
B tip of the nose
C ear ossicles
D nails
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Yellow elastic fibrocartilage found in pinna is also found at the tip of the nose.

Q4
The epithelial tissue present on the inner surface of bronchioles and fallopian tubes is
A Cuboidal
B Glandular
C Ciliated
D Squamous
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Ciliated epithelium lines the inner surface of bronchioles and fallopian tubes.

Q5
Which cells do not form a layer and remain structurally separate?
A Nerve cells
B Epithelial cells
C Gland cells
D Muscle cells
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Nerve cells are highly excitable cells specialised for impulse conduction.

They are structural and functional units of nervous tissue.

Q6
Male frogs can be distinguished from female frogs by the presence of: A. Bulging eyes B. Vocal sacs C. Webbed digits in feet D. Copulatory pad on first digit of fore limbs E. Olive green skin with dark spots
A B and C only
B C and E only
C A and B only
D B and D only
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Male frogs have vocal sacs and copulatory pad on first digit of forelimbs.

Ureters and oviducts open separately into the cloaca in female frogs. D. Hind-brain consists of cerebellum, medulla oblongata and optic lobes. E. Sinus venosus joins the right atrium.
A A, B and C only
B B and D only
C B and C only
D A, C and E only
Correct Answer

Solution

A (hepatic portal system), C (ureters and oviducts open separately in females), E (sinus venosus joins right atrium) are correct.

B is wrong (10 pairs of cranial nerves).

D is wrong (optic lobes are in midbrain).

Q8
A researcher observed a body cavity with mesodermal tissue towards the body wall but no mesodermal tissue towards the alimentary canal. What is the coelome type?
A Schizocoelomate
B Spongocoelomate
C Acoelomate
D Pseudocoelomate
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

In pseudocoelomates, the body cavity features mesodermal tissue along the body wall but lacks mesodermal tissue towards the alimentary canal.

Q9
Which statement is correct about junctions in the body?
A Adhering junctions facilitate cells to communicate with each other
B Tight junctions help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue
C Tight junctions help to perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together
D Gap junctions help to create gap between the cells and tissues
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Tight junctions form a seal between cells preventing passage of fluids and molecules between them.

Q10
Which structures are present in female cockroach? A. Collateral gland B. Mushroom gland C. Spermatheca D. Anal style E. Phallic gland
A B and D only
B B and E only
C A only
D A and C only
