Question 1
1 / -0

Cell organelle extracted from endosperm of germinating castor beans are ______________.

A
glyoxysomes

B
vacuoles

C
mitochondria

D
none of these

Solution

Glyoxysomes are microbodies which contain enzymes for $$\beta$$-oxidation of fatty acids and glyoxylate pathway. They are considered to be special peroxisomes. They occur abundantly in gerrminating endosperm cells of oil seeds.
Question 2

Which of the following is a drought breed of Indian cattle?

A
Malvi

B
Gir

C
Sahiwal

D
Deoni
Question 3
1 / -0

Which of the following is the "bird flu virus"?

A
H5N1

B
Haemophilus influenzae

C
HIV

D
Rhino virus
Question 4
1 / -0

Which of the following two matches are incorrect?
Sr. No. Exotic breeds
of cattle Country
of origin
(i) Jersey Holland
(ii) Holstein-Friesian Germany
(iii) Ayrshire Scotland
(iv) Brown Swiss Switzerland

A
(i) and (iii)

B
(i) and (ii)

C
(ii) and (iii)

D
(ii), (iii) and (iv)

Solution

Exotic breeds of cattle are the result of selective breeding and later was accelerated the use of modern breeding tools. The Jersey breed originated on the Island of Jersey, a small British island in the English Channel off the coast of France. The breed Holstein-Friesian originated in North Holland and West Friesland of the Netherlands.
So the correct answer is option B.
Question 5
1 / -0

The term 'apiculture' refers to

A
tissue culture

B
pisciculture

C
bee-keeping

D
animal-keeping.

Solution

The term 'apiculture' refers to the maintenance of bee colonies commonly in man made hives for the production of honey. Such bees are honey bees of genus Apis mostly. Honey is of high nutritive value and also used in medicines, cosmetics, polishes and in industry.
So, the correct option is 'Option C' .
Question 6
1 / -0

In honey, the main constituent is ______________.

A
Calcium

B
Sugar

C
Protein

D
Water

Solution

So, the correct answer is (B).
Question 7
1 / -0

Animal husbandry and plant breeding programmes are the examples of

A
Reverse evolution

B
Artificial selection

C
Mutation

D
Natural selection

Solution

Animal husbandry and plant breeding programmes are the examples of artificial selection. The artificial selection is the modification of species by selective breeding. Animals or plants with desirable characteristics are interbred with the aim of altering the genotype and producing a new strain of the organism for a specific purpose. Traditional breeding techniques have been supplemented by more recent methods of genetic engineering, genetic testing and embryo manipulation. Sequencing of genomes of commercially important animals and plant species has enabled the inheritance of desired genes to be monitored directly by molecular methods.

So, the correct answer is 'Artificial selection'.
Question 8
1 / -0

Select the incorrect statement from the following.

A
Apiculture provides additional income generating source to the farmers.

B
Bee-keeping is labour intensive process.

C
Bee venom is used to cure certain diseases like gout and arthritis.

D
Honey is used as laxative, antiseptic and sedative.
Question 9
1 / -0

Germplasm collection is the collection of ________________.

A
Germ cells

B
Semens

C
Plants/seeds with all the diverse alleles for all genes

D
Egg cells
Question 10
1 / -0

Which of the following points are important for successful bee-keeping?

(i) Knowledge of the nature and habits of bees.
(ii) Selection of a suitable location for keeping the beehives.
(iii) Management of beehives during different seasons.
(iv) Cross hybridisation among the selected parents.

A
(i), (iii) and (iv)

B
(ii) and (iv)

C
(i), (ii) and (iii)

D
(i) and (iii)

Solution

Following points are imortant for successful bee-keeping:-

(i) Knowledge of the nature and habits of bees.
(ii) Selection of suitable location for keeping the beehives.
(iii) Management of beehives during different seasons.
(iv) Catching and hiving of swarms.
