Which of the following is not the feature of red muscle fibres?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
They have high amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum
Option C (They have high amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum) is correct because red muscle fibers have less sarcoplasmic reticulum compared to white muscle fibers, as they rely more on aerobic respiration.

Reason: Ciliary, flagellar and amoeboid movements occur only in unicellular organisms.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both Assertion & Reason are false.
Option D is correct because both the assertion and the reason are false. Locomotion similarities exist between unicellular organisms and multicellular animals, and ciliary, flagellar, and amoeboid movements are not exclusive to unicellular organisms.

Statement I: Prolonged activation of striated muscles lead to fatigue in all striated muscles.

Statement II: Prolonged activation causes accumulation of lactic acid in a striated muscle.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both statements I and II are incorrect
Option D (Both statements I and II are incorrect) is correct because fatigue doesn't occur in all striated muscles with prolonged activation, and it's not solely due to lactic acid accumulation.

Assertion: The joint between atlas and axis is
an example of gliding joint.

Reason: Gliding joint allows movement primarily
in one plane.
