The correct sequence in the process of development of human embryo is
- fertilization—zygote—cleavage—morula—blastula— gastrula
- fertilization—cleavage—morula—zygote—blastula—gastrula
- fertilization—zygote—blastula—morula—cleavage—gastrula
- cleavage—zygote—fertilization—morula—blastula—gastrula
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Zygote - morula- blastula - gastrula - embryo
Zygote is the first cell that is formed after the fusion of sperm cells and the egg cell.
After multiple rounds of division through cleavage, it forms a solid ball called a morula. After that there is a formation of fluid filled hollow balls of cells called blastula. Gastrula have invagination and cell migration that results in the formation of three germ layers. The process of organogenesis forms embryos.

Statement II: Smaller size DNA fragments are observed near the anode while larger fragments are found near the wells in an agarose gel.- NEET (UG) - 2025
- Molecular Biology
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Transfer RNAs and ribosomal RNA do not interact with mRNA.
Statement II: RNA interference (RNAi) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025
- RNA interference
- Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repair mechanisms. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025
- Structure of DNA and RNA

- Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radii \(r_A\) and \(r_B\) respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the cylinders, their pressures remain constant and their pistons are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm respectively. If the change in their internal energies is the same, then the ratio \(r_A / r_B\) is:

Pregnancy
The human gestation period or pregnancy lasts for over nine months or 266 days. At times, childbirth also takes place prematurely or even after nine (9) months. The entire process of pregnancy is split into trimesters of three intervals:
- First Trimester: This comprises the period mainly from week one to twelve. This is the embryonic or pre-embryonic development stage.
- Second Trimester: This comprises the period from week thirteen to the twenty-fourth. This is the stage of fetal development and normally, most the body parts develop in this stage.
- Third Trimester: This comprises the period from week twenty-fifth to that of the birth of an infant. This stage spectates some of the major developments in the child such as the formation of the blood cells, bones turning hard, sense organs being developed and the fingernails are also visible by this stage.
