This category covers zoology: how animals are classified, their body structures, organ systems and physiology, along with topics like reproduction and behaviour. Practise here to check how well you know the animal kingdom and find the areas worth another look.
The partial pressure of oxygen (pOâ‚‚) in the alveoli is approximately 104 mmHg, facilitating its diffusion into the blood. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function.
Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose to glucose-6-phosphate in glycolysis. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function.
Autoimmune diseases are not caused by bacterial infections; they result from immune system dysfunction. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Human Health and Disease, Topic: Immunity, diseases and health maintenance.
The chorionic villi, which extend into maternal blood spaces, facilitate the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the mother and the fetus.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Principles of Inheritance, Molecular Basis of Inheritance and Biotechnology, Topic: Genetics, DNA techniques and applications.
Maternal cardiac output increases during pregnancy due to increased blood volume and heart rate to meet the metabolic demands of both mother and fetus.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Human Reproduction and Reproductive Health, Topic: Gametogenesis, menstrual cycle and reproductive strategies.
Land plants first evolved during the Ordovician period, paving the way for terrestrial ecosystems. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Evolution, Topic: Theories, Hardy-Weinberg principle and evidences.
Insulin deficiency leads to diabetes mellitus, characterized by high blood glucose levels and glucose excretion in urine. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Human Physiology - Digestion, Respiration, Circulation, Neural Control and Chemical Coordination, Topic: Organ system functions and hormonal regulation.
Reverse transcriptase synthesizes complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA template. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Principles of Inheritance, Molecular Basis of Inheritance and Biotechnology, Topic: Genetics, DNA techniques and applications.
DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands during replication. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Principles of Inheritance, Molecular Basis of Inheritance and Biotechnology, Topic: Genetics, DNA techniques and applications.
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for signal transmission at neuromuscular junctions. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function.
PCR is used to amplify and detect even small amounts of viral DNA, making it suitable for early HIV detection. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Principles of Inheritance, Molecular Basis of Inheritance and Biotechnology, Topic: Genetics, DNA techniques and applications.
Thymosin, secreted by the thymus, promotes the development and differentiation of T-lymphocytes. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
