$(3)$ Crucifers Family
$(4)$ Orchid Order
  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The orchid family (Orchidaceae) is subdivided into 5 subfamilies, 22 tribes and 70 subtribes and 850 genera are informal as alliances.

So, the correct option is 'D'.

The highest sound frequency which a human being can detect is 20,000 vibrations/second. What is the highest frequency which a bat can detect?

  1. 75,000

  2. 50,000

  3. 10,000

  4. 150,000


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Most bats use frequencies in the range 20-80 kHz, only a few bats use frequencies less than 20 kHz.

So, the correct option is '75,000'.

Which of the following will have the maximum concentration of harmful chemicals in its body ? Eagle, Grass, Snake, Frog, Grasshopper

  1. grass

  2. eagle

  3. snake

  4. rrong


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Here the food chain be :
Grass Grasshopper Frog Snake Eagle The organism which occurs at the highest trophic level in the food chain will have the maximum concentration of harrnful chemicals in its body. since, eagle occurs atthe highest trophic level, therefore, it will have the maximum concentration of harrnful chemicals in its body.

Which among the following is a simple act of learning that involving loss of sensitivity to unimportant stimuli?

  1. Reasoning/insight

  2. Imprinting

  3. Classical conditioning

  4. Habituation

  5. Instinct


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Instinct is a kind of behaviour which does not involve any prior learning and is inherent and automatic. Thus, the loss of sensitivity to unimportant stimuli is a natural act which is instinctive in nature. For example, dancing of honeybees in the direction of food, animal fighting and courtship behaviour are are instinct behaviour. 

Identify the correct chronological sequence of periods of Mesozoic era:

  1. $Carboniferous \, \rightarrow \, Permian\, \rightarrow \, Triassic\, \rightarrow \, Jurassic\, \rightarrow \, Cretaceous.$

  2. $Cretaceous \, \rightarrow \, Permian\, \rightarrow \, Jurassic\, \rightarrow \, Triassic\, \rightarrow \, Cretaceous.$

  3. $Biogeography.$

  4. $Carboniferous \, \rightarrow \, Jurassic\, \rightarrow \, Permian\, \rightarrow \, Triassic\, \rightarrow \, Cretaceous.$


Correct Option: C

Read the following passage and answer the following question.
A group of 10 newly hatched chicks was separated into two smaller groups containing five chicks each. One group (Group A) was left with the mother hen, the other group (Group B) was taken shortly after hatching and kept with a mother goose. The chicks in Group A displayed normal behavior and followed the mother hen around. The chicks in Group B followed the mother goose around and exhibited goose like behavior, such as swimming. After one week, Group B was reunited with the mother hen, but ignored her, and instead continued to follow the mother goose around the barnyard.

The behaviour exhibited by the chicks in Group B is

  1. Imprinting

  2. Instinct

  3. Insight

  4. Habituation

  5. Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A form of learning that occurs during a brief genetically determined critical period shortly after birth is called as imprinting. Instinct is an inborn behaviour characteristic to a species and is often a response to specific environmental stimuli. Conditioning is also a learned response in which stimulus becomes associated with a consequence. Habituation is the most complicated form of learned behavior and includes applying something already learned to a new situation without a period of trial and error. Reasoning is making concept about cause and effect in particular context. Because the chicks learnt to follow mother goose and mother hen just after birth; it is imprinting. 

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Which of the following occurs only at a certain, critical time in an animal's life?

  1. Dominance

  2. Reflex

  3. Instinct

  4. Imprinting

  5. Habituation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Imprinting is a form of learning that occurs during a brief genetically determined critical period shortly after birth. Habituation is the most complicated form of learned behavior and includes applying something already learned to a new situation without a period of trial and error. The reasoning is making the concept of cause and effect in particular context. Reflex and dominance occur during a late phase of life. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Which of the following is a simple form of learned behaviour?

  1. Dominance

  2. Reflex

  3. Instinct

  4. Imprinting

  5. Habituation

  6. Both D and E


Correct Option: F
Explanation:

Both habituation and imprinting are simple learned behaviours. Both are non associative learning process which means not associated with any reward or punishment. In habituation, the animal becomes habituated to the specific type of stimulus after repeated exposure. In imprinting, the learned behaviour occurs at a particular stage of maturation process in life. It mostly occurs in early stage of life of animals. Like the animal first recognizes the mother. This behaviour helps the animal in their survival in young age. 

The behaviour of organisms belonging to the same species is shown by

  1. Periodical cicadas that emerge the same year

  2. Fish that become fertile during different seasons

  3. Ungulates that mate frequently and yield sterile offspring

  4. Rodents that mate frequently and yield no viable offspring

  5. Tropical birds that court their mates with differing dances or songs.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Behaviour of organisms which belong to the same species can be seen in periodical cicadas that emerge the same year. The nymphs of periodical cicadas develop underground for 13 to 17years and live on juices from plant roots. After this period, they emerge from the soil and molt into winged adults. There are seven species of periodical cicadas four with 13-year life cycles and three with 17-year cycles. Each species of the periodical cicada has a distinctive song.

Identify the animal behavior.
Geese recognize a ringing bell as mother if exposed to it during a critical period shortly after hatching.

  1. Reasoning/insight

  2. Imprinting

  3. Classical conditioning

  4. Habituation

  5. Instinct


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
If Geese reconginzes a ringing bell as mother if exposed to it during a critical period shortly after hatching, it could be called as 'imprinting'. Imprinting is a type of behaviour in which an organism behaves in the same way to which it is exposed immediately after birth. The first object viewed or heard by an organism is recognized and gets imprinted in the mind.
