A. Albumin
B. Myoglobin
C. Collagen
D. Hemoglobin
Answer: Option D

Question #1
Zoological parks and botanical gardens are examples of:
A. In-situ conservation
B. Ex-situ conservation
C. Biodiversity hotspots
D. Ecological succession

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ex-situ (off-site) conservation involves protecting endangered species outside their natural habitats. Zoological parks, botanical gardens, seed banks, and cryopreservation facilities are examples of ex-situ conservation. This method allows for controlled breeding, research, and education, and can be a last resort for species whose natural habitats are severely degraded or destroyed.

Question #2
The technique of producing genetically identical individuals from a single cell is:
A. Cloning
B. Hybridization
C. Cross breeding
D. Mutation breeding

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Cloning produces genetically identical copies of an organism or cell. In animals, somatic cell nuclear transfer (like Dolly the sheep) is used. Plant cloning occurs via vegetative propagation or tissue culture. Hybridization combines different genomes; mutation breeding induces mutations; cross breeding involves mating. Cloning has applications in therapeutics, conservation, and agriculture.

Question #3
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a healthy adult is approximately:
A. 500 mL/min
B. 125 mL/min
C. 250 mL/min
D. 50 mL/min

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of filtrate formed per minute by both kidneys, normally about 125 mL/min (180 L/day). Nearly 99% of the filtrate is reabsorbed, leaving about 1-2 liters of urine per day. GFR is regulated by the juxtaglomerular apparatus. It's an important clinical indicator of kidney function, estimated from serum creatinine.
