Which is the dominant stage of the lifecycle of a fern?
[ "zygote", "larvae", "sporophyte", "gametophyte" ]
C
The dominant stage of the lifecycle of a fern is the sporophyte, which consists of large compound leaves called fronds. Fronds fulfill a double role; they are photosynthetic organs that also carry reproductive organs. The stem may be buried underground as a rhizome, from which adventitious roots grow to absorb water an...

Often determining the strength or intensity of a wave, this term is the distance from the equilibrium point of motion to either its lowest or highest point?
[ "amplitude", "peak", "frequency", "density" ]
A
The amplitude , , is the distance from the equilibrium (or center) point of motion to either its lowest or highest point ( end points ). The amplitude, therefore, is half of the total distance covered by the oscillating object. The amplitude can vary in harmonic motion but is constant in SHM. The amplitude of a wave of...

Components of tumor staging include major prognostic factors such as tumor size, invasion of the tumor, nodal involvement, distant metastases, inflammation and local features. Hence, stage of the tumor at the time of diagnosis is a better predictor of prognosis. Ref: Bailey and Love's Sho Practice of Surgery, 24th Edit...

What is a fibrocartilaginous pad that fills the gap between adjacent vertebral bodies?
[ "Back Disk", "intervertebral disc", "unidirectional disc", "subsidence disc" ]
B
Intervertebral Disc An intervertebral disc is a fibrocartilaginous pad that fills the gap between adjacent vertebral bodies (see Figure 7.24). Each disc is anchored to the bodies of its adjacent vertebrae, thus strongly uniting these. The discs also provide padding between vertebrae during weight bearing. Because of th...

Topographic maps that show water depths are called bathymetric maps . An example of one is pictured below ( Figure below ). Bathymetric maps are made of any water body, including lakes and oceans. On these maps, the contour lines represent depth below the surface. Therefore, high numbers are deeper depths and low numbe...

As a cell grows, its volume increases more quickly than its surface area.
