Question

Which one of the following item gives its correct total number?

• A. Floating ribs in humans - 14
• B. Amino acids found in proteins - 21
• C. Types of diabetes - 3
• D. Cervical vertebrate in humans - 6

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Types of diabetes - 3

12 pairs of ribs are present in humans, which forms the bony lateral walls of the thoracic cage. The last two pair of ribs (total four) are called floating ribs because their anterior ends are not attached to either the sternum or the cartilage of another rib. The floating rib protects the kidneys.

7 cervical vertebrae in the human present in the neck. The first cervical vertebrate called atlas and second is known as an axis.

20 amino acids found in proteins.

Thus, there are three types of diabetes, i.e., type-1 (diabetes, mellitus) and the third is gestational diabetes.

So, the correct answer is option C.
