ZOOLOGY

This zoology set focuses on animals: their classification, body organisation, organ systems, physiology and life processes. It suits quick revision sessions where you want to test recall on specific animal groups and human physiology topics before moving on.

45 questions

Which term describes the development of species with similar traits in different geographical areas?

Parallel evolution occurs when species in different geographical areas evolve similar traits independently. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which of the following statements about amino acids is correct?

Amino acids contain an amino (-NH₂) group and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. They are linked by peptide bonds, not glycosidic bonds. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which type of blood vessel is responsible for exchange of gases and nutrients?

Capillaries are thin-walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste between blood and tissues. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which structure forms the main communication link between the left and right rebral hemispheres?

The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two rebral hemispheres, allowing communication between them. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which of the following is incorrect regarding cry genes?

Cry proteins are produced during the stationary phase of bacterial growth, not the log phase. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which of the followings is incorrect?

Mutation is not the only factor influencing genetic variation; recombination, gene flow, and genetic drift also contribute. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which of the following maternal cardiovascular changes is most prominent during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, maternal blood volume and cardiac output increase significantly to meet the heightened metabolic demands. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which of the following occurs during expiration?

During expiration, the intercostal muscles relax, reducing thoracic volume and increasing pulmonary pressure, leading to air expulsion. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

During which phase of the menstrual cycle do estrogen levels peak?

Estrogen levels gradually rise during the follicular phase and peak in the late follicular phase, just before the LH surge triggers ovulation. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
