The figure above represents a late zebrafish gastrula. The following concepts may be proposed during further development of the embryo.

A. The concentration of FGF decreases from the yolk towards the epidermis, along with the increase of BMP activity from the dorsal to the ventral axis.

B. Increase in FGF activity in the epidermis with concomitant decrease in BMP activity towards the ventral axis.

C. Neural induction in zebrafish is independent of the organizer and depends on activation of BMP signalling.

D. In comparison, both Xenopus and chick embryos require activation of FGF for neural induction to occur in addition to BMP inhibition.

during a life cycle of adult lancet fluke live in cows. They spread their eggs in cow manure, snails eat the eggs and the immature parasites hatch and infect their intestine. The snail coughs up these offspring in balls of slime and ants eat these slime balls loaded with flukes. The flukes migrate to the ant’s head and make them climb to the tops of grass blades where they are eaten by cows and the cycle starts over again

a. Only ant act as inntermediate host 

b. both snail and Ant act as intermediate host

c. cow act as definitive host due to sexual reproduction

d. only snail act as intermediate host due to asexual reproduction

A specific kind of parasitism proposes that  in which cuckoos or cowbirds repeatedly check their host’s nests and destroy all eggs if their owner is not present. If the parasite egg has been removed, they destroy the host’s nest and kill or injure the nestlings, this is an example of;
