CAT Question of the Day
In many organisms, the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy). By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.

Which of the following statements isn't true as per the passage?
OPTIONS
 
 1)The larger gamete is female and the smaller gamete is male.
 2)Different organisms have different haploid stages – in some, gametes recombine, and in some, they undergo cell division.
 3)Males produce a large amount of small gametes and females produce a large amount of large gametes.
 4)A hermaphrodite can reproduce on its own, without external fertilization.
 5)Anisogamy is gametes that are different from each other in various aspects.
Tip of the Day
A typical mistake people make is answering the question they thought they read, instead of the one which was actually asked. The test setters may deliberately include options which correspond to misinterpretations of the questions.
Last year's Question of the day (04-Mar-11)
The question below consists of a paragraph in which the first and last sentences are identified. Choose the option that has the most logical order of the intermediate sentences.
  1. Even today all banks remain plugged into government life support systems.
  2. And the value of banks' assets is being sheltered by central banks' asset purchasing programmes and in some cases flattered by more generous accounting rules.
  3. Central banks provide generous collateral rules for borrowing, in an effort to provide banks with liquidity.
  4. The truth is that the West has a thinly capitalised banking system that is being allowed to earn its way back to health.
  5. Some banks have managed to issue debt without government guarantees, but the system needs to refinance some $25.6 trillion of wholesale funding by 2011: without an implicit state back stop this would be impossible.
  6. Save for defence and space exploration it is hard to think of a privately-run industry more dependent on the state.
