2. Ligase joins DNA fragments.
3. PCR amplifies DNA.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2, and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at recognition sites, DNA ligase seals fragments, and PCR amplifies specific DNA sequences. All three are fundamental tools in biotechnology.

Question #1
Consider statements about the Golgi apparatus: 1. It has cis and trans faces. 2. It modifies and packages proteins. 3. It synthesizes ATP. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membranous sacs called cisternae. It has a forming cis face near the ER and a maturing trans face directed towards the plasma membrane. It primarily modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles. It does not synthesize ATP; that is the function of mitochondria.

Question #2
Consider statements about human digestion: 1. Saliva contains the enzyme ptyalin. 2. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid. 3. Bile is produced by the gall bladder. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Salivary glands secrete saliva containing salivary amylase (ptyalin) which begins starch digestion. The stomach's gastric glands secrete HCl, creating an acidic medium for pepsin action. Bile is synthesized continuously by the liver, stored, and concentrated in the gall bladder, but not produced by it. Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct, while 3 is false.

Question #3
The salivary gland located below the tongue is the:
A. Sublingual gland
B. Parotid gland
C. Submandibular gland
D. Lacrimal gland

Correct Answer: Option A
