ZEITLUPE (ZTL) is primarily involved in:

Go with B — Circadian rhythm regulation. Under PSS-Sec-E-Sensory biology, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Phototropism; C) Stomatal opening; D) Chloroplast movement. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.

The primary circadian clock in mammals is located in the:

Pick C: Set point. Thinking about Structure and Function of Nervous System in a practical way — what the structure does, or what the process achieves — leads you here. Clinically and academically, the same logic shows up again and again: location matters here: Set point is the structure or site that matches the description. Hence Set point is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Structure and Function of Nervous System; neighbouring topics often reuse the same principle. Keep a one-line summary card for this idea and revisit it before the paper; short, repeated review beats long cramming sessions.

Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.
