The organ that is the site of T-cell maturation is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The organ that is the site of T-cell maturation is the:
A. Spleen
B. Bone marrow
C. Thymus
D. Lymph node
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The thymus gland is a primary lymphoid organ where T lymphocytes mature and become self-tolerant. Bone marrow is where B cells mature; spleen and lymph nodes are secondary.

Question #1
The type of cell division that occurs during growth and repair is:
A. Fragmentation
B. Binary fission
C. Meiosis
D. Mitosis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Mitosis is the equational division that produces genetically identical daughter cells, used for growth, development, and tissue repair. Meiosis produces gametes, binary fission is prokaryotic, fragmentation is asexual reproduction.

Question #2
The 'Central Dogma' of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information, was proposed by:
A. Francis Crick
B. James Watson
C. Severo Ochoa
D. Marshall Nirenberg

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Central Dogma of molecular biology was proposed by Francis Crick in 1958. It describes the fundamental flow of genetic information within a biological system: DNA is transcribed into RNA, and RNA is translated into protein. The flow is typically unidirectional: DNA -> RNA -> Protein. While exceptions exist (like reverse transcription in retroviruses, where RNA -> DNA), the central dogma remains the core principle of gene expression.

Question #3
Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The sinoatrial node is the pacemaker of the heart. 2. The atrioventricular node delays the impulse before it reaches the ventricles. 3. The Purkinje fibers distribute the impulse to the ventricular muscle. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The cardiac conduction system ensures coordinated heartbeats. The sinoatrial (SA) node generates the electrical impulse, acting as the natural pacemaker. The impulse reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node, which delays it slightly to allow the atria to fully contract and empty into the ventricles. The impulse then travels down the Bundle of His to the Purkinje fibers, which rapidly distribute it throughout the ventricular myocardium, causing ventricular contraction. All statements are correct.
