Question #2
The enzyme telomerase is highly active in which type of cells?
A. Stem cells and cancer cells
B. Mature red blood cells
C. Neurons
D. Somatic cells

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that adds repetitive nucleotide sequences to the ends of chromosomes (telomeres), preventing them from shortening during DNA replication. It is highly active in germ cells, stem cells, and most cancer cells, granting them replicative immortality. In most normal somatic cells, telomerase is inactive, leading to gradual telomere shortening and cellular aging.

Question #3
Which of the following is a correct match of scientist and contribution?
A. Alexander Fleming - Pasteurization
B. Louis Pasteur - Discovery of penicillin
C. Robert Hooke - Discovery of bacteria
D. Edward Jenner - Smallpox vaccine

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Edward Jenner developed the first successful smallpox vaccine (1796). Pasteur invented pasteurization and rabies vaccine, not penicillin. Fleming discovered penicillin. Hooke coined the term 'cell' but did not discover bacteria; Leeuwenhoek observed bacteria. Thus, the correct match is Jenner - smallpox vaccine.
