Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Poultry provides eggs and meat. 2. Apiculture increases crop yield. 3. Dairy farming focuses on fish production. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Poultry farming involves rearing birds like chickens for the production of eggs (layers) and meat (broilers). Apiculture (beekeeping) not only produces honey but also significantly increases crop yields through enhanced pollination by bees. Dairy farming focuses on the breeding and rearing of cattle, buffaloes, etc., for milk production, not fish (which is pisciculture). Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Which of the following diseases is caused by a protozoan transmitted by the tsetse fly?
A. Yellow fever
B. Filariasis
C. Sleeping sickness
D. Malaria

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
African sleeping sickness (trypanosomiasis) is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei, transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina). Malaria is by Plasmodium (Anopheles mosquito), filariasis by Wuchereria (Culex), yellow fever by a virus (Aedes).

Question #3
Which organelle is primarily responsible for the synthesis of lipids?
A. Golgi apparatus
B. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
C. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
D. Lysosome

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes and is the site of lipid synthesis, including phospholipids and steroids. It also detoxifies drugs and poisons. Rough ER synthesizes proteins, Golgi modifies and packages molecules, lysosomes degrade waste. SER is abundant in cells producing steroid hormones.
