Consider the following statements about the blood: 1. Plasma is about 55% of blood volume. 2. Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein. 3. Red blood cells have nuclei in humans. Which of the above is/are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider the following statements about the blood:
1. Plasma is about 55% of blood volume.
2. Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein.
3. Red blood cells have nuclei in humans.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2, and 3
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Plasma makes up ~55% of blood; albumin is the main protein. Mature human RBCs are anucleate. So 3 is incorrect.

Question #1
The process by which plants lose water in the form of liquid droplets is:
A. Guttation
B. Transpiration
C. Evaporation
D. Translocation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Guttation is the exudation of water droplets from hydathodes, driven by root pressure under high humidity and low transpiration conditions.

Question #2
The theory of chemical evolution of life was proposed by:
A. Stanley Miller
B. Charles Darwin
C. Oparin and Haldane
D. Louis Pasteur

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The chemical evolution theory, also known as the biochemical theory of the origin of life, was proposed independently by Alexander Oparin (1924) and J.B.S. Haldane (1929). They proposed that life originated from pre-existing non-living organic molecules (like RNA, proteins, lipids) through a series of complex chemical reactions in the primitive reducing atmosphere of Earth.

Question #3
Consider statements about genetics: 1. DNA is the genetic material in most organisms. 2. RNA is the genetic material in some viruses. 3. Proteins are the genetic material in all cells. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the universal genetic material in all cellular organisms (prokaryotes and eukaryotes) and many viruses, storing hereditary information. Some viruses, known as RNA viruses (like HIV, influenza, and TMV), use RNA (ribonucleic acid) as their genetic material instead of DNA. Proteins are the products of gene expression and perform various cellular functions, but they are never the genetic material in any cell or virus. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
