Notes: All of the three –Herpetology, Ophiology and Serpentology are associated to the study of snakes.While Saurology is associated to the study of Lizards. Thus Option [D] is correct.
2. Syndesmology is the study of which of the following ?
[A] Muscles [B] Joints of bones and ligaments [C] Earthquake [D] snakes
Notes: Syndesmology is the branch of biology which studies Joints of bones and also ligament. The study of muscles is called Myology. Seismology is the study of Earthquakes; and study of snakes is called Serpentology or Ophiology.
3. ‘Ophiology’ is the study of which of the following animals?
[A] Moths and Butterflies [B] Snakes [C] Whales [D] Ants

4. Which of the following branches of biology studies the Joint of bones is?
Notes: Actinobiolgy is the branch of biology which studies the effects of radiation on organisms. Cryobiology involves study of life at Low temperatures; Cytogenetics involves Cytological basis of inheritance and Aerobiology deals with the studies of spores and micro organisms in air.
8. The Science of using mechanical devices with human muscle skeleton and nervous systems to assist or enhance motor control lost by trauma, disease or defect is called:
Notes: Biomechatronics is an applied interdisciplinary science that aims to integrate mechanical elements, electronics and parts of biological organisms. Biomechatronics includes the aspects of biology, mechanics, and electronics. It also encompasses the fields of robotics and neuroscience. The goal of this science is to make devices that interact with human muscle, skeleton, and nervous systems. The end result is that the devices will help with human motor control that was lost or impaired by trauma, disease or birth defects.
9. Which among the following is the correct meaning of Phyllotaxy?
[A] Classification of plants as per the leaves structure [B] The manner of arrangement of leaves in stem or branch [C] The manner the leaves fall from the branches [D] The anatomy of leaves in angiosperms
Correct Answer: B [The manner of arrangement of leaves in stem or branch]
10. Which among the following is correct about biocenosis?
