Which of the following organisms is included in the Kingdom Monera? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following organisms is included in the Kingdom Monera?
A. Yeast
B. Amoeba
C. Mushroom
D. Cyanobacteria
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Kingdom Monera includes all prokaryotic organisms, which lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are prokaryotes and thus belong to Monera. Amoeba is a protist, while yeast and mushrooms are fungi, which belong to the Kingdom Fungi and are eukaryotic.

Question #2
In recombinant DNA technology, restriction enzymes are used to:
A. Cut DNA at specific recognition sequences
B. Join DNA fragments together
C. Amplify DNA
D. Insert DNA into a host cell

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Restriction enzymes (restriction endonucleases) are molecular 'scissors' that cut DNA at specific, highly specific recognition sequences (palindromic sequences). They are essential tools in genetic engineering for cutting both the source DNA (gene of interest) and the vector DNA at specific sites, creating compatible ends for ligation. DNA ligase is used to join the fragments.

Question #3
Eutrophication in a water body leads to:
A. Increased biodiversity
B. Algal blooms and hypoxia
C. Decreased nutrient levels
D. Increased oxygen levels

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Eutrophication is the excessive enrichment of water bodies with nutrients (primarily nitrates and phosphates from fertilizers and sewage). This leads to rapid growth of algae, known as an algal bloom. When the algae die, their decomposition by bacteria consumes large amounts of dissolved oxygen, leading to hypoxia (low oxygen levels) or anoxia, causing the death of fish and other aquatic organisms.
