Question #1
In the human body, the 'Midbrain' contains the superior and inferior colliculi, which are collectively known as the:
A. Corpora quadrigemina
B. Corpora cavernosa
C. Corpora lutea
D. Corpora allata

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The midbrain (mesencephalon) is the uppermost part of the brainstem. Its dorsal surface features four rounded elevations called the corpora quadrigemina (meaning 'four bodies'). These consist of two upper, larger swellings called the superior colliculi, which are reflex centers for visual movements (like tracking moving objects), and two lower, smaller swellings called the inferior colliculi, which are part of the auditory pathway and relay sound information to the thalamus.

Question #2
Which blood vessel carries blood from the heart to the lungs?
A. Aorta
B. Superior vena cava
C. Pulmonary vein
D. Pulmonary artery

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The pulmonary artery (trunk) exits the right ventricle and carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. The aorta distributes oxygenated blood to the body, and the vena cava returns deoxygenated blood to the heart.

Question #3
The enzyme used to join DNA fragments in genetic engineering is:
A. Restriction enzyme
B. DNA polymerase
C. DNA ligase
D. Helicase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
DNA ligase seals the phosphodiester bonds between adjacent DNA fragments, joining them together. In recombinant DNA technology, it is used to ligate the gene of interest into a vector. Restriction enzymes cut DNA, DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA, and helicase unwinds the double helix. Ligase is essential for finalizing the recombinant DNA molecule.
