The process of new blood vessel formation is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of new blood vessel formation is called:
A. Hematopoiesis
B. Angiogenesis
C. Vasoconstriction
D. Vasodilation
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, important in development, wound healing, and tumor growth. Vasodilation is widening, vasoconstriction narrowing of vessels. Hematopoiesis is blood cell formation. Inhibiting angiogenesis is a cancer therapy strategy.

Question #1
Which of the following statements about the human reproductive system is correct?
A. Fertilization usually occurs in the uterus.
B. Sperm production occurs in the vas deferens.
C. Testosterone is produced by the seminal vesicles.
D. The placenta provides nutrients and oxygen to the fetus.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The placenta exchanges nutrients, gases, and wastes between mother and fetus. Sperm are produced in testes, fertilization is in the fallopian tube, testosterone by Leydig cells.

Question #2
Consider statements about evolution: 1. Variation is necessary for evolution. 2. Natural selection acts on phenotype. 3. Evolution occurs in individuals. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Genetic variation within a population provides the raw material upon which evolutionary forces act; without variation, evolution cannot occur. Natural selection acts directly on the phenotype (observable traits) of an organism, determining its survival and reproductive success. However, evolution is a population-level phenomenon; it involves changes in allele frequencies over generations, not changes occurring within a single individual's lifetime. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
Which of the following is a defining feature of prokaryotic cells?
A. Absence of cell wall
B. Linear chromosomes
C. Presence of 70S ribosomes only
D. Presence of membrane-bound nucleus

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus; their genetic material is located in a nucleoid region. They possess 70S ribosomes (50S+30S subunits), whereas eukaryotic cells have 80S ribosomes. Prokaryotes generally have a cell wall (except Mycoplasma) and circular DNA, not linear. Membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, ER are absent. Examples: bacteria and blue-green algae. This distinction is fundamental in cell biology.
