NAME Solutions for MECEE BL Model Entrance Exam Set–A (2082-04-03)
Zoology
1. a) Ciliata
Explanation: The class Ciliata in protozoa is characterized by the presence of
numerous cilia used for locomotion and feeding. They possess two distinct nuclei -
a large macronucleus for metabolic functions and a micronucleus for reproduction.
2. c) Myocytes
Explanation: In sponges, myocytes are contractile cells that surround the osculum
and regulate its opening and closing. By contracting, these cells control water flow
out of the sponge body.
3. b) Glandulomuscular cells
Explanation: In Hydra, glandulomuscular cells are found in the basal disc (foot) and
secrete a sticky substance that helps the animal attach to a surface.
4. d) Miracidium and metacercariae
Explanation: There are five larval stages in the life cycle of Fasciola) The first stage
larva called miracidium infects its secondary host (snail) whereas last stage larva
called metacercariae infects primary host (sheep).
5. c) Rhabditis
Explanation: Rhabditis is a free-living soil nematode often used in laboratory
studies. Unlike Wuchereria, Loa loa, or Dracunculus, which are parasitic, Rhabditis
can be found in decomposing organic matter in soil.

Explanation: The ambulacral or water vascular system is unique to echinoderms
which operates tube feet used for movement, collecting food, and gas exchange.
8. a) Maxillary teeth
Explanation: In snakes, fangs are specialized maxillary teeth adapted for venom
delivery. They are hollow or grooved and connected to venom glands to inject toxins
into prey.
9. c) Cnidarians and flatworms
Explanation: Both cnidarians and flatworms possess a single opening for ingestion
and egestion, forming a “blind sac” body plan.
10. b) Acetylene and ethylene
Explanation: According to Oparin and Haldane’s hypothesis, simple hydrocarbons
like acetylene and ethylene accumulated in the primitive ocean and served as
precursors for the synthesis of complex organic molecules.

Explanation: Old World monkeys have dental formulas and dentition patterns
closer to humans than New World monkeys. Both have 32 teeth, including molars
with similar cusps.
12. b) Atavism
Explanation: Atavism is the reappearance of ancestral traits that were lost through
evolution. For example, humans born with a tail are a rare case of atavism.
13. a) Innate behavior
Explanation: Some behaviors are coded in the genes of animals which passes from
one generation to another called innate behavior. Animals don’t need learning to
perform this.
