Question #1
Human skin color is a classic example of:
A. Mendelian inheritance
B. Linkage
C. Pleiotropy
D. Polygenic inheritance

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance occurs when a single phenotypic trait is controlled by two or more different genes at different loci, each having an additive effect. Human skin color, height, and eye color are controlled by multiple genes (e.g., at least three genes for skin color). This results in a continuous range of phenotypes, forming a bell-shaped curve in a population.

Question #2
In human blood, the universal recipient blood group is:
A. A negative
B. B positive
C. AB positive
D. O negative

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
AB positive blood has both A and B antigens and the Rh antigen, so it lacks antibodies against A, B, or Rh. Hence, individuals with AB+ can receive red blood cells from any donor without agglutination. O negative is the universal donor. Compatibility depends on antigens on donor RBCs and antibodies in recipient plasma.

Question #3
Which of the following hormones is responsible for the closure of stomata during water stress?
A. Abscisic acid (ABA)
B. Auxin
C. Gibberellin
D. Cytokinin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a stress hormone that induces stomatal closure by causing efflux of K⁺ ions from guard cells, leading to loss of turgor, thereby reducing water loss during drought. Auxin and cytokinin promote growth, gibberellin stimulates stem elongation and seed germination. ABA also promotes seed dormancy and leaf senescence.
