Question #1
Consider statements about human brain: 1. The cerebrum controls voluntary actions. 2. The cerebellum maintains balance. 3. The medulla controls breathing. 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 C


Explanation:
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, responsible for higher functions like voluntary motor actions, sensory processing, and intelligence. The cerebellum coordinates muscle movements and maintains posture and balance. The medulla oblongata contains vital centers controlling involuntary functions like heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure. All three statements are correct.

Question #2
The female sex hormone produced by the corpus luteum is:
A. Estrogen
B. Prolactin
C. Testosterone
D. Progesterone

Correct Answer: Option D

Question #3
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria are prokaryotic. 2. Fungi have chlorophyll. 3. Viruses can reproduce without a host. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes lacking a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Fungi are heterotrophic eukaryotes that lack chlorophyll and cannot perform photosynthesis. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that lack metabolic machinery and absolutely require a living host cell to replicate. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
