  1. Hyperthyroidism

  2. Hypothyroidism

  3. Diabetes Mellitus

  4. Hypermetropia

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Myxedema refers to a severe form of hypothyroidism than can occur when the condition is left untreated or is not treated sufficiently. The term also applies to the effects that hypothyroidism can have on the skin, making it appear swollen and puffy.

  3. Insulin

  4. Testosterone

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In male humans, during puberty, the growth of mustache and beard is seen as a sign of growth.

  1. Pineal Body

  2. Pituitary Gland

  3. Pancreas

  4. Parathyroid Gland

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Growth hormone (GH), also called somatotropin or human growth hormone, peptide hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of essentially all tissues of the body, including bone.

Match the Column-I & Column-II.

(i) Auxin (A) Ripening of fruit
(ii) ABA (B) Bolting
(iii) Gibberellin (C) Sensitivity against adverse conditions
(iv) Ethephon (D) parthenocarpy in tomato
biology plant growth control of blood glucose hormones in human reproduction testes and ovary

  1. i-C, ii-D, iii-B, iv-A

  2. i-D, ii-C, iii-A, iv-B

  3. i-D, ii-C, iii-B, iv-A

  4. i-A, ii-C, iii-B, iv-D

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • (i) Auxin - (D) parthenocarpy in tomato -Auxins are generally produced by the growing apices of the stems and roots, from where they migrate to the regions of their action. Auxins also induce parthenocarpy in
tomatoes. 
  • (ii) ABA - (C) Sensitivity against adverse conditions -ABA(Abscisic acid) acts as a general plant growth inhibitor and an inhibitor of plant metabolism.ABA regulates sensitivity against adverse conditions i.e ABA stimulates the closure of stomata in the epidermis and increases the tolerance of plants to various kind of stresses. Therefore, it is also called the stress hormone.
  • (iii) Gibberellin - (B) Bolting -Gibberellins promotes bolting
(internode elongation just prior to flowering) in beet, cabbages and many
plants with rosette habit.
  • (iv) Ethephon - (A) Ripening of fruit - Ethephon in an aqueous solution is readily absorbed and transported within the plant and releases ethylene slowly. Ethephon hastens fruit ripening in tomatoes and apples.
  • So, the correct answer is 'i-D, ii-C, iii-B, iv-A'.

Myelin sheath is covering of

biology control and co-ordination in plants and animals control of blood glucose hormones in human reproduction testes and ovary

  1. Muscle cells

  2. Axon of neurons

  3. Blood vessels

  4. Osteocytes

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A neuron can be defined as a long cytoplasmic process of the cell body, which transmits the impulse from the cell body to other neurons is termed. The axon is covered by a lipid-rich membrane, called myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is formed by Schwann cells and each Schwann cell covers a part of the axon.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (B), 'Axon of neurons'.
