Solutions

S1. Ans (a)
Sol. Cattle warts are caused by Bovine Papilloma virus which is a contagious virus that spreads from infected cattle to noninfected cattle. Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus is a stress-related infection that can cause mild to severe respiratory disease and reduce the animal’s resistance to other diseases. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis also known as ‘Red nose’ highly contagious virus causes respiratory disease. Rabies can infect all warm-blooded animals including humans and it attacks the central nervous system, causing death.

S2. Ans (a)
Sol. Draught animals are animals need for carrying load. These, include horse, elephant, camel, donkey and mule. Other animals which is in the option does not carry any load, Lion and Tiger are carnivore’s animals and they are wild animal. Cow and goat are milk producing animal as they give food.

S3. Ans (d)
Sol. Skin is not used in pharmaceutical product, it is usually used in leather manufacturing industries.
Pancreas contains insulin used for treating diabetes, Chymotrypsin can burn heals and wounds, Pancreatin aids digestion of food and glucagon treats hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
Liver contains Heparin is used as anti-coagulant and liver extract is used as treatment of anemia.
Pituitary gland contain Prolactin promotes lactation; Vasopressin controls intestinal and renal functions. Bone contains Bone marrow is used in the treatment of blood disorders. Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.

S4. Ans (b)
Sol. Telangana is the first state to have eco-friendly bridges for the movement of tigers over a canal, cutting across the tiger corridor. The bridge links Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra with the forests in Telangana. It requires construction of fertile soil to raise grass and plants over the structure, so that fragmentation of the reserve forest is camouflaged.

S5. Ans (b)

The Project envisioned the development of River Biodiversity Park along with Turtle rearing centre.

S6. Ans (c)
Sol. In order to qualify as a hotspot, the region must meet two criteria: Species Endemism and Degree of threat. Species endemism means that the region must consists of minimum 1500 different species of vascular plants as endemics. Degree of threat means that the region has to have lost at least 70% of its original habitat.

S7. Ans (d)
Sol. Drying, drying and wet salting, smoking, boiling and drying, smoking and drying, fermenting, icing, fish paste are the traditional post-harvest technologies. Modern technologies include freezing, chilling, fermenting, electric and solar drying, curing and rack drying, canning, fishmeal, and fish products.
Filtering process is not done in post-harvest Technology, hence option (d) is the correct answer.
