Explanation:
Gastrulation is the stage in development of an embryo, in which three distinct germ layers (ectoderm,
endoderm and mesoderm) are formed. It takes place next to cleavage, in which blastula formation
occurs from zygote. After gastrulation is neurulation which is the typical organogenesis.
Question: 10
A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system is called
A. Entropy
B. Enthalpy
C. Potential energy
D. Kinetic energy
E. None of the above
Correct Answer: A. Entropy
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of the disorder or randomness which is derived from the second law of
thermodynamics. Enthalpy is the sum of the internal energy of the system plus the product of its
volume multiplied by the pressure. Potential energy is the ability of a system to do work due to its
position or internal structure. Kinetic energy of an object is the energy it possesses due to its motion.
Question: 11
In amphibian, vitellogenin is synthesized by
A. Oocyte
B. Uterus
C. Liver
D. Spleen
E. Intestine
Correct Answer: C. Liver
Explanation:
Vitellogenin is a precursor protein that is expressed in the females of all oviparous species including
amphibians, fishes, reptiles and birds. Vitellogenin is a glycolipoprotein secreted by the liver.
Vitellogenin can be expressed by the male (in a few species) in the presence of estrogenic endocrine
disruptive chemicals. Vitellogenin precursors provide the major egg yolk proteins which serves as
nutrients.

A. Depolarized
B. Repolarized
C. Hyperpolarized
D. Resting potential
E. A, B and D
Correct Answer: C. Hyperpolarized.
