Question #1
The hormone that stimulates the kidney to reabsorb sodium and water, increasing blood pressure, is:
A. Renin
B. ADH
C. Aldosterone
D. ANP

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Aldosterone, from the adrenal cortex, acts on the distal tubule and collecting duct to increase sodium reabsorption (and water follows) and potassium secretion, raising blood volume and pressure. ADH increases water reabsorption, ANP reduces sodium reabsorption, renin is an enzyme initiating the RAAS.

Question #2
In fish farming, 'induced breeding' is commonly achieved by injecting:
A. Pituitary extract containing gonadotropins
B. Insulin
C. Thyroxine
D. Adrenaline

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In pisciculture, induced breeding is carried out by injecting fish with pituitary gland extract from donor fish containing gonadotropic hormones (FSH and LH), which stimulate spawning. This allows controlled production of fish seed. Hypophysation is the technique used in Indian major carps. Insulin and thyroxine are not involved in reproduction. Adrenaline is a stress hormone.
