# Question Ans
31.

The most effective method of dealing with non-biodegradable pollutant is by

A. Dumping

B. Recycling

C. Incineration

D. Burying

B

32.

The correct sequence of biomes from northern to southern Nigeria is

A. Guinea savanna → sudan savanna → tropical rain forest → sahel savanna → estuarine

B. Estuarine → tropical rain forest → guinea savanna → sahel savanna

C. Sahel savanna → tropical rain forest → estuarine → guinea savanna

D. Sahel savanna → sudan savanna → guinea savanna → tropical rain forest → estuarine

D

33.

Mycorriza is an associationn between fungi and

A. protozoans

B. Roots of higher plants

C. Bacteria

D. Filamentous algae

B

34.

A limited factor in a plant population near a chemical factory is likely to be

A. Light

B. Humidity

C. wind

D. pH

D

35.

Soil fertility can best be conserved by the activities of

A. Earthworm

B. Man

C. Rodent

D. Microbes

D

36.

The pioneer organisms in ecological succession are usually the

A. mosses

B. lichens

C. ferns

D. algae

B

37.

If a DNA strand has a base sequence TCA, its complementary strand must be

A. ATG

B. TAG

C. GAT

D. AGT

D

38.

A man and his wife are both heterozyous for the sickle-cell trait. The likely percentage of their offspring that will be either carriers or sicklers is

A. 75%

B. 50%

C. 25%

D. 100%

Detailed Solution

An heterozygote for sickle-cell anaemia = AS
Crossing two AS persons, we have one AA, two AS and one SS.
\(\therefore\) The probability that the children are either carriers or sicklers = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
= 75%
39.

If the pair of alleles for baldness is given as Bb, a female carrier will be denoted by

A. XbYB

B. XBXB

C. XBY

D. XBbXb

D

40.

A. Drosophila melanogaster

B. Muscar domestica

C. Zea mays

D. Homo sapiens
