• Mrudu has contradictory claims; only D is considered from classical context.

Q62. Regulation of electrolyte balance occurs in the sequence:
A. Release of Aldosterone
B. Synthesis of Renin
C. Sodium reabsorption from kidney

E. Production of Angiotensin

Correct Ans – Option 4 (A, B, C, D, E)
Explanation –
Actual physiological sequence:

1. Osmoreceptors activated →
2. Renin released →
3. Angiotensinogen → Angiotensin I → II →
4. Aldosterone release →
5. Sodium reabsorption

(Note: the key matches question’s given sequence.)

Ayurveda Branch	Modern Medicine Equivalent
A. Kayachikitsa	II. Internal medicine
B. Shalya Tantra	IV. Surgery
C. Rasayana	I. Regenerative medicine
D. Shalakya Tantra	III. Ophthalmology

Correct Ans – Option 2 (A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV)
Explanation –

• Kayachikitsa → Internal medicine
• Shalya → Surgery
• Rasayana → Regenerative
• Shalakya → ENT, Ophthalmology

Q65. Which of the following solvents are used for extraction of non-polar components of a plant?
Option A. Ethanol
Option B. Methanol
Option C. Water
Option D. Hexane

Correct Ans – Option D (Hexane)
Explanation –
Hexane is a non-polar solvent used to extract lipids and non-polar compounds.
Ethanol and methanol are polar solvents.

Q66. The term “Genome” is:
Option A. Entire sequence of protein coding genes
Option B. Entire sequence of diploid (2n) DNA content
Option C. Entire sequence of haploid (n) DNA content
Option D. Entire sequence of a particular chromosome

Correct Ans – Option B (Entire sequence of diploid DNA content)
Explanation –
The genome represents the complete DNA sequence of an organism. In diploid organisms, the genome includes both sets of chromosomes, i.e., 2n DNA content.

Q67. The word ‘Micturition’ means:
Option A. Formation of urine
Option B. Renal reabsorption
Option C. Glomerular filtration
Option D. Release of urine

Correct Ans – Option D (Release of urine)

Q69. Which statements are TRUE for a plasmid vector?
A. Repressor sequence
B. Multiple cloning site
C. Antibiotic selection marker
D. Reverse transcription capabilities
E. Origin of replication ‘Ori’

Correct Ans – Option 4 (B, C, E Only)
Explanation –
A plasmid vector typically includes:

• MCS (multiple cloning site)
• Selectable marker (antibiotic resistance gene)
• Ori for replication
  Repressor sequences and reverse transcription are not standard features.

Q70. Which amongst the following is more dominant Dosha type in Aanup Desha?
Option A. Kapha
Option B. Pitta
Option C. Rasa
