Question #1
Consider statements about the environment: 1. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. 2. CFCs deplete the ozone layer. 3. Global warming is caused by excess oxygen. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The ozone layer, which absorbs harmful UV radiation, is located in the stratosphere. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) release chlorine atoms in the stratosphere that catalytically destroy ozone molecules. Global warming is primarily driven by the greenhouse effect due to excess carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, not oxygen. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Jointed appendages are the defining characteristic of which phylum?
A. Echinodermata
B. Arthropoda
C. Annelida
D. Mollusca

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Arthropoda is the largest phylum of the animal kingdom, and its defining characteristic is the presence of jointed appendages (legs, antennae, etc.). The word 'Arthropoda' literally means 'jointed legs'. They also have a chitinous exoskeleton and a hemocoel (blood-filled body cavity). Examples include insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

Question #3
Which base is found in RNA but not in DNA?
A. Adenine
B. Thymine
C. Guanine
D. Uracil

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Uracil replaces thymine in RNA. In DNA, thymine pairs with adenine; in RNA, uracil pairs with adenine. Adenine, guanine, and cytosine are present in both. The presence of uracil and the sugar ribose (vs. deoxyribose) are key structural differences between RNA and DNA.
