Question #1
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming produces milk. 2. Poultry farming produces meat and eggs. 3. Apiculture produces silk. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Dairy farming is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock (like cows, buffaloes, goats) specifically for the long-term production of milk and dairy products. Poultry farming involves the commercial rearing of domesticated birds (like chickens, ducks, turkeys) for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Apiculture is the scientific rearing and management of honeybees (Apis species) for the production of honey, beeswax, and other hive products; silk production is the domain of sericulture. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

A. Frederick Griffith
B. Hershey and Chase
C. Watson and Crick
D. Avery, MacLeod, McCarty

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Frederick Griffith in 1928 demonstrated the transformation of non-virulent pneumococci to virulent by heat-killed virulent strain, suggesting a transforming principle. Avery et al. later identified it as DNA. Hershey-Chase confirmed DNA is genetic material.

Question #3
Consider the following statements about the cell membrane:
1. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.
2. It is fully permeable.
3. Proteins are embedded in the membrane.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 1, 2, and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The cell membrane has a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and is selectively permeable, not fully permeable. So 2 is incorrect.
