Digestive System & Feeding Mechanisms
Solution
Some of the features of an animal are scales, teeth, nares, and backbone. The animal is likely to be a?
A
toad
B
bird
C
lizard
D
rat
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
cold-blooded ness;
The teeth of reptiles are also less specialized in function than are mammalian teeth.
a dry skin with scales but not feathers (a characteristic of birds) or hair (a characteristic of mammals);
NB: Birds do not have teeth, although they may have ridges on their bills that help them grip food.
Birds swallow their food whole, and their gizzard (a muscular part of their stomach) grinds up the food so they can digest it.

Adaptation & Evolution
Solution
When the original king and queen of termites die, they are replaced by
A
the king and queen of another colony
B
some adult reproductives from the same colony
C
some adult workers which are specially fed to breed
D
developing nymphs nurtured as secondary reproductives
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
When the queen dies, production of the blocking pheromone stops, and secondary reproductives may be produced.
In the Reticulitermes species, the queen and king may be replaced by numerous secondary reproductives, and the colony may become very large with the added productivity of many queens.

Solution
The correct sequence for the perception of smell in mammals is?
A
chemicals --> olfactory nerve endings --> brain
B
dissolved chemicals --> nasal sensory cells --> brain
C
chemicals --> mucus membrane sensory cells --> brain
D
dissolved chemicals --> sensory cells --> olfactory nerve --> brain
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
