The process by which plants synthesize food using light energy is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process by which plants synthesize food using light energy is:
A. Respiration
B. Chemosynthesis
C. Transpiration
D. Photosynthesis
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen. It occurs in chloroplasts. Respiration releases energy from organic molecules. Transpiration is water loss. Chemosynthesis uses chemical energy (by some bacteria).

Rosie, the first transgenic cow, was engineered to produce human:
A. Alpha-lactalbumin
B. Interferon
C. Growth hormone
D. Insulin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rosie, the first transgenic cow, was created in 2000. She was genetically modified to produce milk that contained human alpha-lactalbumin, a protein found in human breast milk. Her milk was nutritionally more balanced for human babies than normal cow's milk, containing about 2.4 grams per liter of this human protein. This demonstrated the potential of transgenic animals for producing pharmaceutical or nutritional products.

Question #3
DNA fingerprinting relies on the variation in which type of DNA sequences?
A. Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs)
B. Introns
C. Mitochondrial DNA
D. Exons

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
DNA fingerprinting (DNA profiling) is a technique used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA patterns. It primarily relies on the analysis of Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) or Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), which are highly polymorphic, non-coding, repetitive DNA sequences that vary greatly in length and number between individuals.
