    The dominant pigment that results in red hair is called

    • Oligomelanin

    • Andromelanin

    • Eumelanin

    • Pheomelanin

    Correct Answer
    A. Pheomelanin
    Explanation
    Pheomelanin is the correct answer because it is the dominant pigment responsible for red hair. It is a type of melanin that produces red and yellow pigments in the hair, skin, and eyes. Pheomelanin is produced in higher amounts in individuals with red hair compared to other types of melanin such as eumelanin, which produces brown and black pigments. The presence of pheomelanin in the hair leads to the characteristic red coloration.

    Correct Answer
    A. Eumelanin
    Explanation
    Eumelanin is the dominant pigment that results in brown hair. It is responsible for the dark brown to black color of hair. Pheomelanin, on the other hand, is responsible for the red and yellow pigments in hair. Neumelanin and Andromelanin are not recognized as pigments that contribute to hair color.

    • None of the above

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because according to the Andre Walker system, hair can be classified into three types: wavy, kinky, or none of the above. This means that all possible classifications of hair are covered by these options.

    • Hair curticle

    • Hair follicle

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair bulb
    Explanation
    The hair bulb is also known as the root of the hair. It is the lowest part of the hair follicle, located at the base of the hair shaft. The hair bulb is responsible for producing new cells that make up the hair shaft, and it contains the papilla, which supplies nutrients to the growing hair.

  • 8. 

    Which of the following has the highest number of hairs?

    • Blonde

    • Redheads

    • Black haired persons

    • Brown haired persons

    Correct Answer
    A. Blonde
    Explanation
    Blonde hair typically has the highest number of hairs compared to redheads, black-haired persons, and brown-haired persons. This is because blonde hair tends to be finer and thinner in texture, which allows for a higher density of individual hairs. Redheads, black-haired persons, and brown-haired persons usually have thicker and coarser hair, resulting in a lower number of individual hairs.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    All of the following determines  how straight or curly the hair is except.

    • The shape of the follicle

    • The shape of the cortex

    • The shape of the mucus membrane

    • The shape of the fiber

    Correct Answer
    A. The shape of the mucus membrane
    Explanation
    The shape of the mucus membrane does not determine how straight or curly the hair is. The straightness or curliness of hair is primarily determined by the shape of the follicle, the shape of the cortex, and the shape of the fiber. The mucus membrane, on the other hand, is not directly involved in determining the hair's texture or curl pattern.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The following are hair typing systems used in the classification of hair

    • Andre walker system

    • FIA system

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because both the Andre Walker system and the FIA system are hair typing systems used in the classification of hair. These systems categorize hair based on its texture, curl pattern, and other characteristics. The Andre Walker system is commonly used to classify hair into four types (straight, wavy, curly, and coily), while the FIA system uses a numerical and alphabetical combination to categorize hair into different types and subtypes. Therefore, "All of the above" is the correct answer as it includes both the mentioned hair typing systems.
