The process of removing waste products from the blood using a machine is called:
A. Endoscopy
B. Transfusion
C. Dialysis
D. Bypass
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Dialysis artificially filters waste products (urea, creatinine) and excess fluid from the blood when kidneys fail, using a semipermeable membrane. Hemodialysis uses an external dialyzer, peritoneal dialysis uses the peritoneal membrane. Bypass is a surgical procedure, transfusion is blood transfer, endoscopy is visualization.

Question #1
The 'Central Dogma' of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information, was proposed by:
A. Francis Crick
B. Severo Ochoa
C. James Watson
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.
