Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The human skull consists of 22 bones (8 cranial and 14 facial). The femur (thigh bone) is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. Humans have 12 pairs of ribs; the first 7 are true ribs (direct attachment), next 3 are false ribs (indirect), and last 2 are floating. All statements are anatomically correct.
Explanation:
Gibberellins stimulate seed germination by activating synthesis of hydrolytic enzymes (amylase) that break down stored food reserves. They also promote stem elongation. Abscisic acid inhibits germination and promotes dormancy. Ethylene is for ripening, cytokinins for cell division. The GA:ABA ratio determines germination vs dormancy.
Explanation:
Most bacteria possess a single circular double-stranded DNA molecule located in the nucleoid region. Some bacteria may also have linear chromosomes or multiple chromosomes, but the typical prokaryotic chromosome is circular. Eukaryotes have linear chromosomes. Plasmids are small, circular extra-chromosomal DNA in bacteria.
Explanation:
Respiration includes external respiration (breathing, gas exchange) and internal respiration (cellular metabolism). Digestion is food breakdown, circulation is transport, excretion is waste removal.
