# Question Ans
41.

Carbon monoxide poisons tissue by

A. constricting the blood vessels

B. killing the cells

C. combining with haemoglobin

D. rupturing the blood vessels

C

42.

Which of the following is an example of discontinuous variation observed in man?

A. Skin colours

B. Tongue rolling

C. Body weight

D. Height

B

43.

During blood transfusion, agglutination may occur when

A. contrasting antigens reacts with contrasting antibodies

B. similar antigens react with similar antibodies

C. two different antigens react with each other

D. two different antibodies react with each other

Detailed Solution

Agglutination is the process that occurs if an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody called isoagglutinin.
44.

In the illustration above, the genotypes of the offsprings are

A. 1 heterozygous smooth : 2 homozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled

B. 1 homozygous smooth : 2 heterozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled

C. 2 homozygous smooth : 2 wrinkled

D. 3 heterozygous smooth : 2 wrinkled

Detailed Solution

The diagram above refers to a PUNNETT SQUARE used in predicting the probable genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross. looking at the diagram, we have the ratio
SS : Ss : sS : ss and from the question, we see the genotypic composition is;
1 homozygous smooth : 2 heterozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled
45.

Cold blooded animals are referred to as

A. poikilothermic

B. homothermic

C. polythermic

D. homeostatic

A

46.

Which of the following organisms has lost the pentadactyl limb structure?

A. Bat

B. Fish

C. Frog

D. Pigeon

Detailed Solution

Pentadactyl limb structure is found in amphibians, humans, birds and reptiles. However, fishes have lost their pentadactyl limb structure.
