Which of the following diseases is caused by a prion? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Cytokinins are plant hormones that primarily promote cell division (cytokinesis) in the presence of auxins. They are also crucial in delaying senescence (aging) of leaves by helping to maintain protein and nucleic acid content, a phenomenon known as the Richmond-Lang effect. They are synthesized mainly in root apices.

Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance occurs when a single phenotypic trait is controlled by two or more different genes at different loci, each having an additive effect. Human skin color, height, and eye color are controlled by multiple genes (e.g., at least three genes for skin color). This results in a continuous range of phenotypes, forming a bell-shaped curve in a population.

Explanation:
Broilers are chickens bred and raised specifically for meat, reaching market weight in 6-8 weeks. Layers are hens raised for egg production. Broilers require high-protein diet and management to maximize growth. Poultry farming is an important sector for protein supply. Some breeds like Rhode Island Red are dual-purpose. Cobb and Ross are popular broiler strains.
