Question #1
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Silkworms feed on mulberry leaves. 2. Honeybees communicate through the waggle dance. 3. Fish farming is called sericulture. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is a monophagous insect that feeds exclusively on the leaves of the mulberry plant (Morus alba). Honeybees perform a 'waggle dance' on the honeycomb to communicate the direction and distance of food sources to other worker bees. Fish farming is called pisciculture or aquaculture; sericulture specifically refers to the rearing of silkworms for silk production. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Consider statements about environment: 1. The ozone layer protects Earth from UV radiation. 2. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. 3. Acid rain is beneficial for soil fertility. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The stratospheric ozone layer acts as a vital shield, absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV-B and UV-C) radiation, protecting life on Earth. Greenhouse gases (like CO2, methane, water vapor) absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the troposphere and maintaining Earth's temperature (the greenhouse effect). Acid rain, containing sulfuric and nitric acids, is highly detrimental; it leaches essential nutrients from the soil, releases toxic aluminum, and damages plant life, reducing soil fertility. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The hormone that increases water reabsorption in the collecting duct is:
A. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
B. Renin
C. Aldosterone
D. Natriuretic peptide

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
ADH (vasopressin) from the posterior pituitary increases water permeability of collecting duct cells by inserting aquaporins, reducing urine volume.
