The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the:
A. Aortic semilunar valve
B. Bicuspid (mitral) valve
C. Tricuspid valve
D. Pulmonary semilunar valve
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The bicuspid valve (mitral valve) has two cusps and is located between the left atrium and left ventricle, preventing backflow during ventricular systole. The tricuspid valve is on the right side. Semilunar valves are at the exits of the aorta and pulmonary artery. Mitral valve prolapse is a common condition.

Question #1
The 'Haversian system' or 'osteon' is the fundamental functional unit of compact bone in:
A. Fish bone
B. Bird bone
C. Mammalian bone
D. Cartilage

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The Haversian system (osteon) is the characteristic structural unit of compact (cortical) bone in mammals. It consists of a central Haversian canal (containing blood vessels and nerves) surrounded by concentric layers of calcified matrix called lamellae. Between the lamellae are small spaces called lacunae, which house osteocytes (bone cells). Canaliculi connect the lacunae. Bird bones are pneumatic (hollow), and cartilage lacks Haversian systems.

Question #2
The technique used to introduce foreign DNA into animal cells by fine needle injection is:
A. Lipofection
B. Electroporation
C. Biolistics
D. Microinjection

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Microinjection uses a very fine glass micropipette to inject DNA directly into the nucleus of a target cell. Electroporation uses electrical pulses, biolistics is gene gun for plant cells, lipofection uses lipid vesicles.

Question #3
The water vascular system, tube feet, and radial symmetry are characteristic features of the phylum:
A. Arthropoda
B. Echinodermata
C. Hemichordata
D. Mollusca

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The phylum Echinodermata (spiny-skinned animals like starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers) is uniquely characterized by a water vascular system used for locomotion, capture and transport of food, and respiration. The tube feet are the terminal effectors of this system. They exhibit secondary radial symmetry in adults, though their larvae are bilaterally symmetrical. Mollusks have a muscular foot, and arthropods have jointed appendages.
