  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Name one exotic variety of bees.
    Solution
    There are indigenous and exotic breeds of bees.
    • Exotic breeds: Apis mellifica, Apis laboriosa.
    • Indigenous breeds: Apis cerana, Apis indica, Apis florae.
    So the correct option is 'Apis mellifica'.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    If the food source is in the direction of sun and distance is about 90 metre from hive, then honey bee will convey the direction by
    Solution
    Waggle dance or wagtail dance is a kind of dance that is performed by honey bees to share the information of food sources located at distance in the range of 50 - 100 km.
    Waggle dance depends upon the angle of the sun with the food source. Honey bees make different waggle movements according to the location of food and its angle with the sun.
    If the food source is in direction of the sun, the honey bee will waggle in a vertical direction in such a way that it will move opposite to upright down waggle movement.
    So, the correct answer is 'Opposite to option 2'.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Totipotency means
    Solution

    Totipotency is the ability of a single cell to divide and produce all of the differentiated cells in an organism. Spores and zygotes are examples of totipotent cells. In the spectrum of cell potency, totipotency represents the cell with the greatest differentiation potential because of totipotency we can grow flower, fruit or an organism from a cell in a culture medium.

    So, the correct answer is "All the above".

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Single cell protein can be obtained from 
    Solution
    Single cell protein means the protein which can be obtained by the culture of single-celled organisms and these proteins are generally used as dietary supplements. Bacteria, algae, fungus all of them are either single-celled structures or the groups have one or more forms which are single-celled. Thus, all of them form sources of single-celled protein.
    So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Germplasm includes 
    Solution
    Basically, germplasm is genetic material of the germ cells. Any living tissue from which new plants can be grown, is included under germplasm which may be a seed, leaves, pollen etc.
    Germplasm is meant for the conservation of living genetic resources for plant breeding. Hence, only improved and superior varieties of crops are included.
    So, the correct answer is 'Only improved varieties of crop'.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following is matched incorrectly?
    Solution
    A. Isinglass is a gelatinous substance obtained from dried swim bladders of fishes.
    B. Fish flour is rich in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which is a major lipid found in the brain and important for its normal functioning.
    C. Shagreen is the rawhide or untanned skin of shark or ray fish which is used for decorative purposes.
    D. Wastes of fish are used to produce concentrates of fish proteins, fish oils, and many other products. These are known as fish meal.
    Hence, option A is a mismatch.
    So, the correct answer is 'Isinglass - Vit-A, D, E, C'.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Farm eggs are advantageous because?
    Solution
    Farm eggs are advantageous because they are more nutritious as the chickens in the farm are fed with food sources of a higher quality.
    So, the correct option is ' they are more nutritious'.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Read the following statement 

    i) It devoid of wings
    ii) It has a bright red body
    iii) Head, thorax and abdominal regions are not very much distinct following these above statements are referred to
    Solution
    • The queen bee is the only reproductive female in the beehive.
    • Queens are developed from larvae selected by worker bees and specially fed in order to become sexually mature.
    • The characteristics of the queen bee are  It devoid of wings, It has the bright red body, Head, thorax and abdominal regions are not very much distinct.
    • So, the correct answer is 'Queen bee'.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    In which of the following plant due to the presence of high aspartic acid, low Nitrogen, this plant leads to resistance for stem borers ? 
    Solution

    A.Cotton – Smooth leaved and nectar less cotton varieties do not attract bollworms

    B.Sugar cane – Saccharum barberi is crossed with Saccharum officinarum, the newly formed varieity shows the desirable qualities of high yield, thick stems, high sugar and ability to grow.

    C.Maize – High aspartic acid, low nitrogen and sugar content in maize leads to resistance to maize stem borers.

    D.Wheat – Solid stems lead to non preference by the stem sawfly.

    So, the correct answer is ‘Maize’.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following is a correct statement?
    Solution
    Correct option: A
    Explanation:

    • Germplasm refers to the hereditary material transmitted to the offspring through the germ cells. It is the total content of genes. 
    • It serves as the raw material for the breeder to develop different crops. 
    • Thus it is the living genetic resources that fulfil the purpose of animal and plant breeding, preservation and other research uses.
       The main objective of a germplasm collection is the preservation of the genetic diversity of a particular plant or genetic stock for its use in the future.
