Correct Answer: Tooth caries
Explanation:
Fluoride deficiency is a disorder which may cause increased dental caries due to a lack of fluoride in the diet. Dental caries or tooth decay is the breakdown of dental tissues by the acidic products released by the "bacterial fermentation of dietary carbohydrates?
Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Explanation:
In animals, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. In plants parthenogenesis is a component process of apomixis.Apogamy is a type of reproduction, occurring in some ferns, in which the sporophytedevelops from the gametophyte without fusion of gametes.Adventitious embryony also called sporophytic budding, is a type of apomixis in which an embryo develops directly from nucellus or integument tissue.So, all three are correct.
Correct Answer: Plasmodesmata
Explanation:
Plasmodesmata are interrupted by narrow pores carrying fine strands of cytoplasm, which interlink the contents of the cells.
Correct Answer: Calcitonin
Explanation:
Calcitonin is 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone that is produced in humans primarily by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid, and in many other animals in the ultimopharyngeal body. It acts to reduce blood calcium, opposing the effects of parathyroid hormone.
Correct Answer: Chloroplast
Correct Answer: Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Correct Answer: Ear
Correct Answer: Cerebellum
Correct Answer: Insulin
Explanation:
Insulin is an anabolic hormone that stimulates glucose and fatty acid uptake into adipose cells, promoting triglyceride synthesis.Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas. It works to raise the concentration of glucose and fatty acids in the bloodstream, and is considered to be the main catabolic hormone of the body.
Correct Answer: 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
The absence of a nucleus is an adaptation of the red blood cell for its role. It allows the red bloodcell to contain more haemoglobin and, therefore, carry more oxygen moleculesLike red cells, platelets (thrombocytes) have no nucleus.Monocytes have a small spherical nucleus and has abundant dark staining condensed chromatin.There are 5 organelles found in a root hair cell. They are the: nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall and vacuole.
