Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Apiculture is the rearing of honeybees. 2. Sericulture is the rearing of silkworms. 3. Pisciculture is the rearing of poultry. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Apiculture is the rearing of honeybees. 2. Sericulture is the rearing of silkworms. 3. Pisciculture is the rearing of poultry. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Apiculture is the maintenance of honeybee hives for honey and wax production. Sericulture involves rearing silkworms (Bombyx mori) for silk production. Pisciculture is the breeding and rearing of fish (fish farming), whereas poultry farming is the rearing of birds like chickens for meat and eggs. Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct, while 3 is false.

Question #1
Which tissue provides mechanical support and flexibility to the growing parts of a plant?
A. Sclerenchyma
B. Collenchyma
C. Parenchyma
D. Xylem

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Collenchyma is a simple permanent tissue characterized by cells with thickened corners due to the deposition of cellulose and pectin. It provides mechanical support, tensile strength, and flexibility to the growing parts of the plant (like stems and petioles), allowing them to bend without breaking. Parenchyma is for storage, and sclerenchyma provides rigid support.

Question #2
Which type of immunity is achieved by vaccination?
A. Natural passive immunity
B. Artificial passive immunity
C. Artificial active immunity
D. Natural active immunity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vaccination introduces antigens (weakened or killed pathogens) to stimulate the body's own immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells without causing disease. This is artificial active immunity. Natural active immunity is acquired by recovering from infection. Artificial passive immunity is direct administration of antibodies (e.g., antiserum). Natural passive immunity is transfer of maternal antibodies to fetus.
