The process by which pollen grains are transferred to the stigma is called:
A. Pollination
B. Germination
C. Fertilization
D. Dispersal
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower, a prerequisite for fertilization. Fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes. Germination is seed growth, dispersal is seed spreading.

A. Ovary
B. Fallopian tube
C. Uterus
D. Vagina

Question #2
Which enzyme is responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix during replication?
A. Primase
B. DNA polymerase
C. Helicase
D. Ligase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Helicase unwinds the DNA helix at the replication fork by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs. DNA polymerase adds nucleotides, ligase seals Okazaki fragments, primase synthesizes RNA primer. This coordinated action ensures accurate semi-conservative replication. Without helicase, the strands would not separate. Energy for unwinding comes from ATP hydrolysis.

Question #3
Which of the following nitrogenous bases is found in RNA but not in DNA?
A. Uracil
B. Cytosine
C. Guanine
D. Adenine

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
RNA contains uracil instead of thymine found in DNA. In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine; in RNA, adenine pairs with uracil. Adenine, guanine, and cytosine are common to both. Uracil is a pyrimidine base, structurally similar to thymine but lacking a methyl group. This distinction is used in genetic material identification and understanding transcription.
