    Which one of the following animal possesses the least number of body segments? 

    • Prawn

    •  Cockroach

    • Flatworm

    • Earthworm

    Correct Answer
    A.  Cockroach
    Explanation
    The cockroach possesses the least number of body segments compared to the other options. Cockroaches have three main body segments: the head, thorax, and abdomen. Prawns have a segmented body with a head, thorax, and abdomen, but they have more segments than a cockroach. Flatworms have a simple, unsegmented body. Earthworms have a segmented body with many body segments, more than a cockroach. Therefore, the cockroach has the least number of body segments among the given options.

    Which one of the following is a polymorphic species? 

    • Gorilla

    • Ant

    • Garden Lizard

    • Spider

    Correct Answer
    A. Ant
    Explanation
    A polymorphic species is a species that exhibits different forms or morphs within its population. Ants are a prime example of a polymorphic species as they have different castes or morphs such as workers, soldiers, and queens. Each caste has a distinct physical appearance and specialized role within the ant colony. This variation in morphology allows ants to adapt to different ecological niches and perform various tasks within their social structure.

    • Reptiles

    • Aves

    • Mammals

    • Amphibia

    Correct Answer
    A. Amphibia
    Explanation
    Amphibia is the correct answer because reptiles, aves (birds), and mammals can all be found in marine water. Reptiles such as sea turtles and marine iguanas are adapted to life in the ocean. Birds such as penguins and seagulls are also commonly found in marine environments. Additionally, marine mammals like dolphins, whales, and seals are well-known inhabitants of the ocean. However, amphibians, which include frogs, toads, and salamanders, are primarily found in freshwater habitats like ponds and streams, and are rarely found in marine water.

    The number of cervical vertebrae in the mammal is:

    • Seventy-seven

    • Eleven

    • Seven

    • Seventeen

    Correct Answer
    A. Seven
    Explanation
    Mammals typically have seven cervical vertebrae. This is a characteristic feature of mammals and distinguishes them from other animals. The cervical vertebrae are located in the neck region and provide support and flexibility to the head and neck. Having seven cervical vertebrae allows mammals to have a wide range of motion in their necks, which is important for activities such as feeding, grooming, and communication.

    According to a cellular structure which one of the following is most complex?

    •  Algae

    • Fungi

    • Bacteria

    • Protozoa

    Correct Answer
    A. Fungi
    Explanation
    Fungi is the most complex cellular structure among the given options. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they have complex cells with a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They also have a unique cell wall made of chitin, which provides structural support. Fungi have a complex reproductive system and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. They also have a diverse range of specialized structures such as hyphae and mycelium, which allow them to absorb nutrients from their environment. Overall, the complex cellular structure and specialized adaptations of fungi make them the most complex option among algae, bacteria, and protozoa.

    In plants, the receptor for detecting photoperiod is:

    • Protein molecule

    • Gradient of K+

    • Sensory cell

    • Sensory organelles

    Correct Answer
    A. Sensory organelles
    Explanation
    Sensory organelles are the correct answer because plants have specialized structures called photoreceptors that detect changes in light duration, which is known as photoperiod. These photoreceptors are located in sensory organelles such as chloroplasts, which contain pigments like phytochromes and cryptochromes that can perceive and respond to light signals. These sensory organelles play a crucial role in regulating various plant processes, including flowering, growth, and development, based on the length of day and night.

    • Yeast

    • Variola

    • Pea mosaic

    •  Entamoeba Hystolytica

    Correct Answer
    A.  Entamoeba Hystolytica
    Explanation
    Entamoeba Hystolytica is a protozoan. Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotic organisms that belong to the Kingdom Protista. They are typically microscopic and can be found in various environments such as soil, water, and the bodies of plants and animals. Entamoeba Hystolytica is a parasitic protozoan that causes the disease amoebiasis in humans. It infects the intestines and can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Therefore, out of the given options, Entamoeba Hystolytica is the only one that is a protozoan.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which one is not a protozoan?

    • Amoeba

    • Paramoec

    • Hydra

    • Euglena

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydra
    Explanation
    Hydra is not a protozoan because it belongs to the phylum Cnidaria, whereas protozoans belong to the kingdom Protista. Hydra is a multicellular organism, while protozoans are unicellular. Protozoans are typically microscopic and have diverse characteristics and habitats, while Hydra is a freshwater organism that exhibits radial symmetry and possesses specialized cells like cnidocytes for defense and capturing prey. Therefore, Hydra does not fit the criteria of a protozoan.

Their role is to preside over the proceedings of the Lok Sabha and maintain order. However, in the event of a tie, the Speaker is allowed to exercise their vote to break the tie and reach a decision.

    • 5 percent of elected members

    •  7 percent of elected members

    • 10 percent of elected members

    • 15 percent of elected members

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 percent of elected members

This requirement ensures that the opposition party has a significant presence in the legislature and can effectively challenge the ruling party. By having a minimum threshold of 10 percent, it ensures that the opposition party has a sufficient number of representatives to voice their concerns, propose alternative policies, and hold the government accountable. This helps to maintain a healthy and robust democratic system.

The leader of the Opposition is the head of the largest political party that is not in power and plays a crucial role in representing the interests and concerns of the opposition party in the Lok Sabha. They have the opportunity to participate in parliamentary debates, question the government, and influence policy decisions. Therefore, their rank is equivalent to that of a Central Minister in terms of their role and responsibilities within the political landscape.

    Correct Answer
    A.  Only in the Lok Sabha

    According to Article 110 of the Indian Constitution, a Money Bill can only originate in the Lok Sabha. This is because the Lok Sabha is considered to be the House of the People and has more representation from the general public. The Rajya Sabha, on the other hand, represents the states and is not directly elected by the people. Therefore, the power to introduce and pass Money Bills is given exclusively to the Lok Sabha to ensure that the will of the people is reflected in financial matters.

    Correct Answer
    A. Members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
    Explanation
    The Vice-President of India is elected by the Members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. This is because the Vice-President is the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament, and is elected by the members of both houses. The President does not have the authority to directly elect the Vice-President. Similarly, the people of the country also do not have the power to directly elect the Vice-President. Therefore, the correct answer is Members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
