The valve that prevents backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The valve that prevents backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium is the:
A. Pulmonary valve
B. Aortic valve
C. Bicuspid valve
D. Tricuspid valve
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve) has three cusps and closes during ventricular systole to prevent regurgitation into the right atrium. The bicuspid (mitral) is on the left side. Aortic and pulmonary valves are semilunar valves at the ventricular outlets.

Question #1
DNA fingerprinting relies on the variation in which type of DNA sequences?
A. Mitochondrial DNA
B. Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs)
C. Exons
D. Introns

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
DNA fingerprinting (DNA profiling) is a technique used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA patterns. It primarily relies on the analysis of Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) or Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), which are highly polymorphic, non-coding, repetitive DNA sequences that vary greatly in length and number between individuals.

Question #2
In the five-kingdom classification, which kingdom includes organisms that are eukaryotic, multicellular, and obtain nutrition by absorption?
A. Monera
B. Protista
C. Plantae
D. Fungi

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fungi are eukaryotic, mostly multicellular (except yeast), and are heterotrophic by absorption (saprophytic or parasitic). Their cell walls contain chitin. Monera are prokaryotic, Protista are unicellular eukaryotes, Plantae are autotrophic multicellular organisms. Fungi play key roles as decomposers in ecosystems.

Question #3
Which scientist is credited with the discovery of the cell nucleus?
A. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
B. Robert Brown
C. Rudolf Virchow
D. Robert Hooke

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Robert Brown, a Scottish botanist, first described the nucleus in 1831 while studying epidermal cells of orchids. Hooke discovered cells, Leeuwenhoek observed living cells, Virchow proposed that cells arise from pre-existing cells. Brown's discovery was pivotal for understanding cellular organization.
