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

  1. Floating ribs in humans - 4
  2. Amino acids found in proteins - 16
  3. Types of diabetes - 3
  4. Cervical vertebrae in humans - 8

Correct answer: Floating ribs in humans - 4

Solution

Humans have 12 pairs of ribs, and the last two pairs are called floating ribs because they do not attach to the sternum. That means there are 4 floating ribs in total. The other options are incorrect because humans have 20 amino acids in proteins, 3 common types of diabetes are not the standard classification, and there are 7 cervical vertebrae.
