Question #1
The sequence of progressive, predictable changes in the species composition of a community over time is called:
A. Biological magnification
B. Eutrophication
C. Ecological succession
D. Stratification

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ecological succession is the gradual and predictable process of change in the species composition of an ecological community over time. It occurs after a disturbance (secondary succession) or on a newly formed, lifeless substrate (primary succession). The final, stable community that is in near equilibrium with the environment is called the climax community. The entire sequence of communities is called a sere.

Which of the following vitamins is essential for blood clotting?
A. Vitamin E
B. Vitamin K
C. Vitamin A
D. Vitamin C

Correct Answer: Option B

Question #3
The term 'operon' in genetics refers to:
A. A viral DNA integrated into host genome
B. A set of linked genes regulated by a single promoter
C. A DNA repair mechanism
D. A single gene with multiple functions

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
An operon is a functional unit of DNA in prokaryotes containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter, transcribed as a single mRNA. Example: lac operon. It includes operator, promoter, and structural genes. Operons allow coordinate regulation. Eukaryotes generally lack operons.
