Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The sternum is located in the chest. 2. The clavicle is the collar bone. 3. The scapula is the shoulder blade. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

The sternum, or breastbone, is a flat bone located in the center of the chest, to which the ribs attach. The clavicle, commonly known as the collarbone, connects the arm to the body, running horizontally above the first rib. The scapula, or shoulder blade, is a flat, triangular bone located on the upper back, forming the posterior part of the shoulder girdle. All statements are correct.

Question #1
The Cell Theory was proposed by:
A. Watson and Crick
B. Schleiden and Schwann
C. Virchow and Brown
D. Hooke and Leeuwenhoek

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Cell Theory, one of the fundamental principles of biology, was proposed by Matthias Schleiden (a German botanist) in 1838 and Theodor Schwann (a British zoologist) in 1839. Schleiden concluded that all plants are composed of cells, and Schwann extended this to animals. Rudolf Virchow later added the third tenet in 1855: 'Omnis cellula e cellula' (all cells arise from pre-existing cells).

Question #2
The centriole is involved in which cellular process?
A. Protein synthesis
B. Lipid synthesis
C. Photosynthesis
D. Cell division

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Centrioles are cylindrical microtubular structures found near the nucleus in animal cells, forming the centrosome. They organize spindle fibers during cell division (mitosis and meiosis) and are also the basal bodies of cilia and flagella. They are absent in higher plant cells. Centrioles duplicate during S phase and migrate to poles during prophase.

Question #3
The pigment present in rod cells of the retina that is responsible for vision in dim light is:
A. Rhodopsin
B. Hemoglobin
C. Iodopsin
D. Melanin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rhodopsin (visual purple) is a photopigment in rod cells consisting of opsin and retinal (from vitamin A). It bleaches upon absorbing light, initiating signal transduction for vision in low light. Cone cells contain iodopsin for color vision. Melanin is skin pigment, hemoglobin carries oxygen.
