[#226] Which of the following is a non-reducing carbohydrate
Correct Answer

(D) Sucrose

Explanation

Solution: Sucrose is a non-reducing carbohydrate. Sucrose is the most abundant disaccharide and the major product of photosynthesis. It is a nonreducing sugar with limited chemical reactivity and thus is utilized as a transport and storage molecule in most plants.

[#227] Failure of the retractor penis muscles to relax and to allow the penis to extend from the sheath is known as
Correct Answer

(C) Importentia coeundi

Explanation

Solution: Failure of the retractor penis muscles to relax and allow the penis to extend from the sheath is known as Impotentia coeundi. The retractor penis muscle occurs in marsupials and carnivorans, but it is absent in humans. A stag's penis forms an S-shaped curve when it is not erect and is retracted into its preputial sheath by the retractor penis muscle. Impotentia coeundi is characterized by normal sexual desire and normal ability to copulate but the fertility is either subnormal or absent.

Correct Answer

(D) Buffalo ⇔ Farrowing

Explanation

Solution: A. Goat ⇔ Kidding Kidding, the act of the birthing process in goats is the culmination of the breeding process in goats. Goat kids are the primary source of income in commercial goat breeding herds. B. Horse ⇔ Foaling Foaling, also referred to as parturition, is the process of a mare giving birth to a foal. Foaling occurs approximately 338 to 345 days from the last breeding date, however, this period can range from 320 to 365 days or more. C. Sheep ⇔ Lambing Lambing is the time in the spring when female sheep give birth to lambs. Lambing is the climax of the sheep farmer's year, the lambing season. D.

Buffalo breed throughout the year, conceive at 250 - 275 kg body weight, calve for the first time at 3 - 5 years following a gestation period of 305 - 320 days, and produce two calves every 3 years.

[#230] Erythritol sugar plays important role in pathogenesis of
Correct Answer

(B) Brucella sp.

Explanation

Solution: Erythritol sugar plays important role in the pathogenesis of Brucella sp. Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar preferentially utilized by Brucella spp. The presence of erythritol in the placentas of goats, cows, and pigs has been used to explain the localization of Brucella to these sites and the subsequent accumulation of large amounts of bacteria, eventually leading to abortion.
