The fly used for genetics studies is?
Explanation
The correct answer is drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly. This species is widely used in genetics studies due to its short life cycle, easy maintenance, and ability to produce a large number of offspring. Fruit flies also share many genetic similarities with humans, making them a valuable model organism for studying various genetic processes and diseases.Rate this question:

Which is a social insect?
-
Earthworm
-
Tape worm
-
Termite
-
Black fly
-
Mosquito
Correct Answer
A. TermiteExplanation
A termite is a social insect because it lives in large colonies with a complex social structure. Termites work together to build intricate nests, gather food, and care for their young. They communicate through pheromones and perform specialized roles within the colony. This social behavior is what distinguishes termites from other insects like earthworms, tape worms, black flies, and mosquitoes, which do not exhibit the same level of social organization.Rate this question:

What is the end product of protein?
Correct Answer
amino acidExplanation
Protein is broken down into its building blocks called amino acids. These amino acids are then used by the body to build and repair tissues, produce enzymes and hormones, and perform various other functions. Therefore, the end product of protein is amino acid.Rate this question:

What is the end product of fat and oil?
-
Lipid
-
Amino acid
-
Energy
-
Fatty acid and glycerol
Correct Answer
A. Fatty acid and glycerolExplanation
Fat and oil are composed of molecules called triglycerides, which consist of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. During digestion, enzymes break down these triglycerides into their individual components, resulting in the end products of fatty acids and glycerol. Therefore, the correct answer is fatty acid and glycerol.Rate this question:

Genetics si the study of?
-
Variation
-
Heredity
-
Gene
-
Heredity and variation
-
RNA
Correct Answer
A. Heredity and variationExplanation
Genetics is the study of heredity and variation because it focuses on understanding how traits are passed down from one generation to another (heredity) and how genetic variations occur within a population (variation). By studying genetics, scientists can gain insights into the inheritance patterns of genes, the mechanisms of genetic variation, and how these factors contribute to the diversity of traits observed in different organisms.Rate this question:

Fish----->heron-----> ?
-
Shark
-
Mouse
-
Rat
-
Lizard
-
Man
Correct Answer
A. ManExplanation
The sequence follows a pattern where each subsequent animal is a predator of the previous animal. A fish is preyed upon by a heron, and a heron is preyed upon by a man. Therefore, the next animal in the sequence would be a predator of a heron, which is a man.Rate this question:

The association between man and gut bacteria is?
-
Parasitism
-
Commensalism
-
Predation
-
Prey
-
Mutualism
Correct Answer
A. MutualismExplanation
The association between man and gut bacteria is mutualism because both parties benefit from their relationship. The gut bacteria aid in digestion and provide essential nutrients to the human host, while the human host provides a suitable environment and nutrients for the bacteria to thrive. This mutualistic relationship is crucial for maintaining a healthy digestive system and overall well-being.Rate this question:

Amoeba moves with?
-
Cilia
-
Flagellum
-
Legs
-
Ropes
-
Pseudopodium
Correct Answer
A. PseudopodiumExplanation
Amoebas move using pseudopodia, which are temporary projections of their cytoplasm. These pseudopodia extend in the direction of movement and then the rest of the amoeba's body follows. This method of movement allows amoebas to change their shape and direction easily, enabling them to crawl and glide along surfaces. Cilia and flagella are used for movement in other organisms, but not in amoebas. Legs and ropes are not relevant to amoeba movement.Rate this question:
