Which one of the following viruses is responsible for the recent death of lions in Gir National Park?

Correct Answer: Systematic lupus erythematosus

Explanation:

An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body.

 

The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them. Normally, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and your own cells.

 

In an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes part of your body ? like your joints or skin ? as foreign. It releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells. Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, like lupus, affect the whole body.

 

Hence, Systematic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs.

Correct Answer: All living cells arise from pre-existing cells

Explanation:

All living cells arise from pre-existing cells is one component of the cell theory.

 

The Cell Theory is one of the basic principles of biology.

 

The Cell Theory states:

1. All living organisms are composed of cells. They may be unicellular or multicellular.

2. The cell is the basic unit of life.

3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Correct Answer: an artery

Explanation:

A pulse can be detected most easily in Arteries as they are under much greater pressure than veins because they are carrying blood away from the heart which is the pumping machine to force blood to move to all of the body.

 

Every time the hear contracts, it can be felt in an artery where a surge of blood has just been forced.

 

A capillary is too small to feel a pulse and a lacteal is part of the lymphatic system found in the small intestine.

Correct Answer: They have a hydrogen at the 3? carbon of the sugar.

Explanation:

ddNTPs - Dideoxynucleotides and abbreviated as ddNTPs.

 

They are chain-elongating inhibitors of DNA polymerase, used in the Sanger method for DNA sequencing.

 

They have a hydrogen at the 3? carbon of the ribose sugar.

Correct Answer: Evolution

Explanation:

Heritable variation is one of the four most important factors that affect whether natural selection can occur. These factors include

1) Heritable variation

2) Descent with modification

3) Struggle for survival, and necessarily if the others are satisfied

4) Survival of the fittest.

Heritable variation allows for possibly beneficial, negative, or even neutral mutations to get filtered during each generation by natural selection--weeding out negative mutations, passing on positive and neutral ones. Without heritable variation, species would quickly fall victim to parasites who take advantage of identical genetic material in a population and evolution would not occur.

Variation is the raw material of evolution.

Correct Answer: right ventricle, pulmonary artery, and left atrium

Explanation:

Right ventricle (which pumps blood to the lungs), pulmonary artery (which carries blood to the lungs), and left atrium (which receives blood from the lungs) are involved directly in pulmonary circulation.

Correct Answer: Eubacteria

Explanation:

There are two kingdoms of bacteria. They are

1. Eubacteria  and 

2. Archaea

 

The members of these two kingdoms appear similar in shape and appearance, even under the extreme magnification of the electron microscope . However, they are very different from each other in a number of molecular and biochemical aspects. It is these differences that have resulted in the microorganisms being grouped into separate kingdoms.

 

For example, eubacteria contain the rigid, stress-bearing network known as the peptidoglycan . The only exceptions are the bacteria from the genera Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. Archaebacteria do not contain peptidoglycan. Instead, they contain a different structure that is called pseudomurein.

 

The common bacteria belongs to Eubacteria kingdom.

Correct Answer: Yeast belongs to members of the Kingdom Fungi Yeast are single-celled microorganisms that are classified, along with molds and mushrooms in Fungi family Yeasts are evolutionally diverse and are therefore classified into two separate phyla, Ascomycota or sac fungi and Basidiomycota or higher fungi, that together form the subkingdom Dikarya

Correct Answer: Nucleotides

Explanation:

DNA is a very long chain polymer made up of thousands of repeating units called nucleotides.

 

Nucleotide Unit is composed of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

 

The sides of the DNA ladder are made up of alternating deoxyribose sugar -- phosphate group units.

Correct Answer: Uracil

Explanation:

A nitrogenous base, or nitrogen-containing base, is an organic molecule with a nitrogen atom that has the chemical properties of a base. The main biological function of a nitrogenous base is to bond nucleic acids together. A nitrogenous base owes its basic properties to the lone pair of electrons of a nitrogen atom.

 

In DNA, four bases have been found. They are

1. Adenine (A),

2. Guanine (G),

3. Cytosine (C) and

4. Thymine (T).

 

The first three of these bases are found in RNA also but the fourth which is Uracil (U) is absent in it.

RNA contains cytosine and uracil as pyrimidine bases while DNA has cytosine and thymine.
