Robert Koch is famous for establishing 'Koch's postulates', which are a set of criteria used to:
A. Classify bacteria based on Gram staining
B. Develop vaccines against viral diseases
C. Discover the structure of DNA
D. Establish a causal relationship between a specific microbe and a specific disease

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Robert Koch, a German physician and microbiologist, formulated Koch's postulates in the late 19th century. These four criteria are designed to establish a causal relationship between a specific microbe and a specific disease. The postulates require that the microbe must be found in all cases of the disease, isolated and grown in pure culture, cause the disease when inoculated into a healthy susceptible host, and be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host.

Question #3
Which of the following cell organelles is capable of self-replication?
A. Golgi apparatus
B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
C. Lysosome
D. Mitochondria

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and ribosomes (70S) and can replicate by binary fission, a feature supporting their endosymbiotic origin. Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and rough ER cannot self-replicate; they are part of the endomembrane system and arise from pre-existing membranes. Mitochondria are thus semi-autonomous organelles.
