Identify the correct statement about the cell nucleus: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the correct statement about the cell nucleus:
A. It is absent in all eukaryotic cells.
B. It is surrounded by a single membrane.
C. DNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm.
D. It contains the nucleolus, which synthesizes ribosomal RNA.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The nucleolus makes rRNA and assembles ribosomal subunits. Nucleus has a double membrane, is present in eukaryotes, and is the site of DNA replication.

Question #1
In the human body, the 'Basal ganglia' are a group of subcortical nuclei located deep within the cerebral hemispheres. They are primarily involved in:
A. Regulating the sleep-wake cycle
B. Controlling the endocrine system
C. Regulating voluntary motor movements, procedural learning, and habit formation
D. Processing visual information

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The basal ganglia are a group of interconnected subcortical nuclei (including the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and subthalamic nucleus) located deep within the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres. They are crucial components of the extrapyramidal motor system. Their primary functions are to regulate voluntary motor movements (by facilitating desired movements and inhibiting unwanted ones), procedural learning (learning by repetition), routine behaviors, and habit formation. Dysfunction of the basal ganglia leads to movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.

Question #2
Consider statements about human diseases: 1. Tuberculosis is caused by a virus. 2. Polio is caused by a bacterium. 3. Tetanus affects the nervous system. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs. Polio is a viral disease caused by the poliovirus, attacking the nervous system. Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which produces a neurotoxin that causes severe muscle spasms and affects the nervous system. Thus, only statement 3 is correct.

Question #3
Identify the INCORRECT statement about the endocrine system:
A. The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon.
B. The pituitary gland controls other endocrine glands.
C. The adrenal medulla produces cortisol.
D. The thyroid gland produces thyroxine.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The adrenal medulla produces adrenaline and noradrenaline; cortisol is produced by the adrenal cortex. So B is incorrect.
