Consider the following statements about blood:
1. Red blood cells transport oxygen.
2. White blood cells are involved in immunity.
3. Platelets help in blood clotting.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2, and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
All three statements are correct: RBCs contain hemoglobin for oxygen transport, WBCs (leukocytes) defend against pathogens, and platelets (thrombocytes) initiate blood clotting.

Question #1
The hormone responsible for apical dominance in plants is:
A. Gibberellin
B. Ethylene
C. Auxin
D. Cytokinin

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Auxin produced at the shoot apex inhibits lateral bud growth, a phenomenon called apical dominance. Removing the tip promotes branching.

Question #2
Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The sinoatrial node is the pacemaker of the heart. 2. The atrioventricular node delays the impulse before it reaches the ventricles. 3. The Purkinje fibers distribute the impulse to the ventricular muscle. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The cardiac conduction system ensures coordinated heartbeats. The sinoatrial (SA) node generates the electrical impulse, acting as the natural pacemaker. The impulse reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node, which delays it slightly to allow the atria to fully contract and empty into the ventricles. The impulse then travels down the Bundle of His to the Purkinje fibers, which rapidly distribute it throughout the ventricular myocardium, causing ventricular contraction. All statements are correct.

Question #3
The process of copying DNA to produce identical DNA is:
A. Translation
B. Replication
C. Transcription
D. Mutation

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
DNA replication is semiconservative, producing two identical copies from a template. Transcription makes RNA, translation makes protein.
