Which one of the following is not a major carp?

A
Cirrhinus mrigala

B
Puntius ticto

C
Ctenopharyngodon idella

D
Labeo rohita

Solution

Puntius is a genus of cyprinid fishes known as the spotted barbs for the predominant pattern, though many have vertical black bands instead. This genus is native to South Asia and mainland South east Asia, with a single species in Taiwan. Species found elsewhere have been moved to the other genera such as Barbodes. The name Puntius comes from 'pungti', a Bengali term for small cyprinids. It is not classified as a carp, whereas all other ones in the options are carps - both fresh water and marine.
Question 2

In poultry, first deworming is usually done around the age of

A
4 weeks

B
8 weeks

C
12 weeks

D
16 weeks

Solution

Deworming is the giving of an antihelminthic drug to a human or animal to rid them of helminths parasites, such as roundworms, flukes and tapeworms. Deworming is stressful on chickens, so it should be avoided under six weeks of age, during the winter, or during the fall molt. So it is usually done at the age of 8 weeks. Hence, option B is correct.

Question 4

The honey bees exhibit a type of dance to communicate the location of food. What is this known as?

A
Waggle dance

B
Tap dance

C
Round dance and waggle dance

D
Break dance

Solution

The honey bees exhibit 2 types of dance to communicate the location of food, the round dance and the tail-wagging or waggle dance.
The round dance is used for food sources 25-100 meters away from the hive or closer. After distributing some of her new-found nectar to waiting bees the scout will begin running in a small circle, switching direction every so often. The round dance does not give directional information. Bees elicited into foraging after a round dance fly out of the hive in all directions searching for the food source they know must be there.
As the food source becomes more distant the round dance is replaced by the waggle dance. The waggle dance includes information about the direction and energy required to fly to the goal.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
Question 5
1 / -0

Which of the following is a correct statement?

A
Drone is diploid.

B
Apis indica is largest wild bee.

C
Wax is excretory product of bee.

D
Frisch discovered communication in bees.

Solution

1st statement is incorrect, as drones of the honey bee are haploid and not diplod. They develop parthenogenetically from unfertilized eggs.
2nd statement is incorrect, as Apis dorsata laboriosa and not Apis indica, the Himalayan honey bee, is the world's largest honey bee.
3rd statement is incorrect, as bee's wax is not a waste material, it is secreted by special wax glands present in the abdomen. It is used for making the hives of honeybee.
4th statement is correct, as Karl Von Frisch discovered the communication and transmission methods in the honey bee during a number of experiments and found out that when a foraging bee returns to the hive, it performs a 'waggle dance'.
Hence, option D is correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

In poultry industry, production of hatching eggs is more expensive than the production of market eggs mainly because

A
Cost of males and their depreciation value is high.

B
Mortality among females is usually lower when they are mated with males.

C
The number of eggs produced by hatchery flock are to be sold only as market eggs.

D
Some of the eggs produced by hatchery flocks are not acceptable for incubation.

Solution

Poultry farming is a method to domesticated birds such as chicken, turkey, ducks and geese for meat or eggs. On an average, a bird may produce one egg per day, therefore, planning is necessary for a constant production of eggs to meet the market demands. Profitable poultry management involves producing high-quality market eggs, hatching eggs and meat. While market eggs are sold to retail outlets and wholesale markets, hatching eggs are sold to hatcheries. Hatching eggs are more costly to produce than market eggs because the costs include raising and keeping cockerels, providing breeder feeds, increased feed consumption for broiler parent and health checks for fowls against diseases.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

A
Six rice varieties and Oryza nivara

B
13 rice varieties and Oryza nivara

C
