Question 1 of 10
1. Question
1 pointsWhich among the following best describes ‘Leiogalathea samudragiri’, recently seen in the news?
Correct
Answer: d
Explanation:
Researchers recently discovered a new species of squat lobster named Leiogalathea samudragiri off Lakshadweep’s coast.
About Leiogalathea samudragiri:
- It is a new species of squat lobster.
- It was found living 360 metres below the surface near Minicoy, part of the Lakshadweep archipelago.
- The discovery was made during a research cruise as part of India’s ambitious Deep Ocean Mission (Samudrayaan program).
- samudragiri possesses smooth, uninterrupted ridges running across the top of its shell, whereas its closest relatives have ridges that are broken or interrupted.
- It also features exactly six transverse ridges on the back half of its body.
- It lacks a specific spine on its feelers (antennules) that is commonly found in similar species.
- It is bright orange in colour.
What are Squat Lobsters?
- They are marine crustaceans that resemble small lobsters but are not true lobsters.
- They are more closely related to hermit crabs and porcelain crabs.
- There are well over 900 species of squat lobsters, and they can be found in nearly every marine environment across most latitudes around the world.
- They have small, flat bodies, ranging from 0.7 to 3.5 inches (1.778 to 88.9 mm) in length.
- These decapods (ten-footed) have a front pair of legs that are much longer than their bodies that end in a pair of large claws.
- The lobsters earned their name by tucking their tails under their thorax, giving their bodies a shorter, more “squat” appearance.
- As with many other crustaceans, squat lobsters can use their tail as a paddle to escape backwards very quickly.
Hence option d is the correct answer.

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
1 pointsWhich one of the following is the best description of ‘Exposome’, that was in the news recently?
Correct
Answer: b
Explanation:
Scientists are launching an ambitious global effort to map the “human exposome” — the lifelong mix of environmental and chemical exposures that drive most diseases.
About Exposome:
- It can be defined as the measure of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime, from conception onward, and how those exposures relate to health.
- The International Human Exposome Network (IHEN) defines the exposome as the “integrated compilation of all physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial factors, and their interactions.”
- It reveals the accumulated lifetime exposures that determine our health, wellness, and susceptibility to disease.
- This is shaped by internal exposures such as individual metabolism or the microbiome, as well as external factors such as air quality.
- It also involves social or behavioral decisions that influence nutrition and exercise.
- Exposomics is the study of the exposome and relies on the application of internal and external exposure assessment methods.
- Internal exposure assessment relies on fields of study such as genomics, metabonomics, lipidomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. Commonalities of these fields include
- use of biomarkers to determine exposure, effect of exposure, disease progression, and susceptibility factors
- use of technologies that result in large amounts of data and
- use of data mining techniques to find statistical associations between exposures, effect of exposures, and other factors such as genetics with disease.
- External exposure assessment relies on measuring environmental stressors.
- Common approaches include using direct reading instruments, laboratory-based analysis, and survey instruments.
Hence option b is the correct answer.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Osteoporosis:
- It is a disease in which there is excessive bone growth due to calcium deposition.
- People with osteoporosis are much more likely to experience broken bones.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: b
Explanation:
Osteoporosis is a bone-weakening disease that afflicts tens of millions of people, and much-needed new treatments could be on the way after researchers discovered a key mechanism behind how exercise strengthens bones.
About Osteoporosis:
- It is a disease in which your bones become weak and are likely to fracture (break).
- People with osteoporosis are much more likely to experience broken bones (bone fractures).
- What Causes Osteoporosis?
- Your bones are made of living tissue. To keep them strong, your body breaks down old bone and replaces it with new bone.
- Osteoporosis develops when more bone is broken down than replaced.
- You lose bone mass, and changes happen in the structure of your bone tissue. This can happen as you get older.
- Other risk factors can also lead to the development of osteoporosis or increase your chance of developing the disease.
- Symptoms:
- It is called a “silent” disease because it doesn’t usually cause symptoms. You may not even know you have the disease until you break a bone.
- This could happen with any bone, but it’s most common in the bones of your hip, vertebrae in the spine, and wrist.
- Once your bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you might have signs and symptoms that include:
- Back pain, caused by a broken or collapsed bone in the spine.
- Loss of height over time.
- A stooped posture.
- A bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
- Treatment: Treatment for osteoporosis may involve:
- Making lifestyle changes, such as changing your diet and exercise routine
- Taking calcium and vitamin D supplements
- Using medicines to strengthen bones.
Hence only statement 2 is correct.

Question 7 of 10
7. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Bio-based Chemicals:
- These are produced by using biological feedstocks like sugarcane, corn and starch.
- These are often produced through fermentation or enzymatic processes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: c
Explanation:
India has prioritised bio-based chemicals and enzymes as a priority area under the Department of Biotechnology’s BioE3 policy.
Bio-based chemicals are industrial chemicals produced using biological feedstocks like sugarcane, corn, starch, or biomass residues.
These are often produced through fermentation or enzymatic processes.
Examples: Organic acids (such as lactic acid), bio-alcohols, solvents, surfactants, and intermediates used in plastics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Unlike conventional chemicals, for which the largely available supplies are obtained through sources of fossil fuel, bio-based alternatives reflect a sustainable solution.
Ecological Benefits of the Bio-Based Chemicals:
The bio-based industry reduces reliance on fossil fuels by applying renewable feedstocks.
Low production of harmful byproducts: Biobased methods generate much lower amounts of hazardous waste than the conventional petroleum-based methodologies.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: The production of biochemicals generally requires less energy than their corresponding petroleum-based equivalents.
Waste Minimization and Circular Economy: With bio-based chemicals mostly coming from organic waste resources, development of the circular economy will be based on recycling, efficiency in the use of resources.
Hence both statements are correct.
