In a standard Electrocardiogram (ECG), the 'QRS complex' represents: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In a standard Electrocardiogram (ECG), the 'QRS complex' represents:
A. Ventricular depolarization
B. Atrial depolarization
C. Ventricular repolarization
D. Atrial repolarization
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The QRS complex in an ECG represents the depolarization of the ventricles, which initiates ventricular contraction (systole). The P wave represents atrial depolarization. The T wave represents ventricular repolarization, which leads to ventricular relaxation (diastole). Atrial repolarization is usually masked by the larger QRS complex. Exam tip: P = atrial depolarization; QRS = ventricular depolarization; T = ventricular repolarization.

Question #1
The transgenic cow 'Rosie' was known for producing milk enriched with:
A. Human insulin
B. Bovine growth hormone
C. Antithrombin
D. Human alpha-lactalbumin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Rosie, the first transgenic cow, produced milk containing human alpha-lactalbumin, a protein important for infant nutrition. This was achieved by introducing the human gene for the protein into the cow. Human insulin is produced in E. coli or yeast, growth hormone in some transgenic animals, and antithrombin in goat milk (ATryn). Transgenic animals are used as bioreactors.

Question #2
The vitamin that is a coenzyme in the transfer of one-carbon units is:
A. Biotin
B. Riboflavin
C. Folic acid
D. Thiamine

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Folic acid (vitamin B₉) is reduced to tetrahydrofolate (THF), which carries one-carbon groups in amino acid and nucleotide metabolism. Biotin is for carboxylation, riboflavin for redox, thiamine for decarboxylation.

Question #3
The disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is:
A. Maple syrup urine disease
B. Albinism
C. Phenylketonuria
D. Homocystinuria

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
PKU leads to accumulation of phenylalanine, causing mental retardation. Albinism is tyrosinase defect, MSUD branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase, homocystinuria methionine metabolism.
