General Science problems
- 1. A protein that acts as a hormone is
Options- A. Estrogen
- B. Insulin
- C. Both A & B
- D. None of the above Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Insulin
- 2. Human gametes are produced by
Options- A. Mitosis
- B. Meiosis
- C. Replication
- D. None of the above Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Meiosis
Explanation:
In humans all reproduction is sexual. It involves joining together haploid gamete cells from each parent with half the normal number of chromosomes to make a new cell containing both parents' genetic material. This is a diploid zygote. The cells from each parent that combine to form the zygote are called gametes.
Meiosis produces haploid gametes from a diploid parental cell.
- 3. Where does transcription occur in the cell?
Options- A. Cytoplasm
- B. Nucleus
- C. Ribosome
- D. None of the above Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Nucleus
Explanation:
Transcription is a process of production of mRNA which occurs in the nucleus of the cell. After transcription, translation which occurs in the cytoplasm.
- 4. Condition of decreased oxygen in the blood
Options- A. Hematemesis
- B. Hypercapnia
- C. Hemoptysis
- D. Hypoxemia Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Hypoxemia
Explanation:
Oxygen deficiency or decreased oxygen levels in the blood is a condition known as Hypoxemia.
Hypercapnia means High carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
- 5. Free-floating anxiety refers to anxiety that is
Options- A. unrelated to any realistic, known source
- B. related to a specific event
- C. related to a realistic source
- D. related to a specific object Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: unrelated to any realistic, known source
Explanation:
Free floating anxiety is also known as Generalised Anxiety Disorder in which the individual may be unable to identify specific triggers for the anxiety.
- 6. Which new European satellite using advanced laser technology to track global winds and improve weather forecasts has been successfully put into orbit on a Vega rocket from French Guyana?
Options- A. Radyo 4
- B. Aeolus
- C. Eutelsat W 2
- D. Telstar 12 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Aeolus
- 7. The mechanism of water reabsorption by the renal tubules is
Options- A. solvent drag
- B. osmosis
- C. active transport
- D. cotransport with sodium ions Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: osmosis
Explanation:
Water reabsorption by the renal tubules is harmonally controlled and it is a osmosis mechanism.
- 8. Refractory bricks are used for
Options- A. To increase heat flow
- B. To decrease heat flow
- C. To reflect heat
- D. None of the above Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: To decrease heat flow
- 9. Select the correct statement about the process of scientific inquiry.
Options- A. The goal of scientific research is to prove the stated hypothesis.
- B. It is possible to test hypotheses, such as those involving historical events, without conducting experiments.
- C. If the results of an experiment do not support the hypothesis that is tested, the experiment is badly designed.
- D. All of the above Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: It is possible to test hypotheses, such as those involving historical events, without conducting experiments.
Explanation:
The correct statement among the given options about the process of scientific inquiry is "It is possible to test hypotheses, such as those involving historical events, without conducting experiments."
Although it is not possible to carry out experiments to test hypotheses about evolutionary relationships between living groups or about the timing of the origin of major evolutionary innovations, such hypotheses can be evaluated by making predictions about the expected findings that would result from these hypotheses. Data can then be collected to test whether these predictions are correct.
- 10. Which of the following includes all the others?
Options- A. Cellulose
- B. Glucose
- C. Sucrose
- D. Glycogen Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Glucose
Explanation:
Here cellulose, sucrose and glycogen are all the forms of glucose. Hence, glucose includes all the other three given options.
