Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming focuses on milk production. 2. Poultry farming focuses on meat and egg production. 3. Fisheries focus on silk production. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming focuses on milk production. 2. Poultry farming focuses on meat and egg production. 3. Fisheries focus on silk production. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Dairy farming is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock (like cows and buffaloes) specifically for the long-term production of milk. Poultry farming involves the rearing of domesticated birds (like chickens, ducks, and turkeys) for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Fisheries (pisciculture) involves the breeding and rearing of fish and other aquatic organisms for food; silk production is the domain of sericulture (rearing silkworms). Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
The organ that produces the enzyme renin is the:
A. Liver
B. Stomach
C. Kidney
D. Pancreas

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Renin is released by juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney when blood pressure drops. It starts the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Note: rennin (chymosin) is in the stomach for milk digestion.

Question #2
The 'P' wave in a standard ECG represents:
A. Ventricular repolarization
B. Ventricular depolarization
C. Atrial repolarization
D. Atrial depolarization

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a graphical record of the heart's electrical activity. The 'P' wave represents the depolarization of the atria, which leads to atrial contraction. The QRS complex represents ventricular depolarization, and the 'T' wave represents ventricular repolarization, which leads to ventricular relaxation.

Question #3
The enzyme that breaks down fats in the digestive system is:
A. Amylase
B. Sucrase
C. Pepsin
D. Lipase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Lipase, primarily pancreatic lipase, hydrolyzes triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids in the small intestine, aided by bile salts that emulsify fats. Amylase digests starch, pepsin proteins, sucrase sucrose. Lipases are also secreted by lingual and gastric glands but pancreatic lipase is the main.
