Consider statements about plant hormones: 1. Auxins promote apical dominance. 2. Gibberellins cause bolting in rosette plants. 3. Cytokinins promote leaf senescence. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about plant hormones: 1. Auxins promote apical dominance. 2. Gibberellins cause bolting in rosette plants. 3. Cytokinins promote leaf senescence. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Auxins produced at the apex suppress the growth of lateral buds, maintaining apical dominance. Gibberellins induce rapid stem elongation or bolting in rosette plants before flowering. Cytokinins actually delay or prevent senescence (aging) of leaves by promoting nutrient mobilization, known as the Richmond-Lang effect. Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct, while 3 is false.

Question #1
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Active immunity involves the body producing its own antibodies. 2. Passive immunity involves receiving pre-formed antibodies. 3. Vaccination provides passive immunity. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Active immunity occurs when the body's own immune system is stimulated by an antigen (either through infection or vaccination) to produce its own antibodies and memory cells, providing long-lasting protection. Passive immunity occurs when an individual is directly given pre-formed antibodies (like through mother's milk or antiserum), providing immediate but temporary protection. Vaccination stimulates the body to produce its own immune response, thus providing artificial active immunity, not passive. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The structure that connects the kidney to the urinary bladder is the:
A. Renal pelvis
B. Ureter
C. Nephron
D. Urethra

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The ureter is a muscular tube that carries urine from the renal pelvis of each kidney to the urinary bladder by peristalsis. The urethra carries urine from the bladder to the exterior. Renal pelvis collects urine from calyces, nephron is the functional unit.
