The layer of the skin that contains blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The layer of the skin that contains blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles is the:
A. Stratum corneum
B. Dermis
C. Epidermis
D. Hypodermis
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The dermis, lying beneath the epidermis, is a connective tissue layer containing collagen and elastin fibers, blood vessels, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands. The epidermis is the outermost protective layer, the hypodermis is subcutaneous fat, and the stratum corneum is the outermost part of the epidermis.

Question #2
Consider statements about biotechnology: 1. Bt cotton is resistant to insects. 2. Golden rice is enriched with Vitamin A. 3. Cloning produces genetically diverse offspring. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Bt cotton is transgenic, containing genes from Bacillus thuringiensis that produce proteins toxic to specific insect pests like the bollworm. Golden rice is genetically modified to produce beta-carotene, a precursor of Vitamin A, to combat deficiency. Cloning involves creating an exact genetic copy of an organism, resulting in genetically identical offspring, not diverse ones. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
In the process of photosynthesis, the splitting of water molecules is associated with:
A. Photosystem I
B. Cytochrome b6f complex
C. Photosystem II
D. NADP reductase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Photolysis of water occurs at the manganese cluster of photosystem II, releasing electrons, protons, and oxygen. The electrons replace those lost by P680. Photosystem I reduces NADP⁺. Cytochrome b6f transports electrons between the two photosystems. Thus, water splitting is a hallmark of PSII.
