Which part of the human eye is responsible for color vision? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which part of the human eye is responsible for color vision?
A. Rods
B. Lens
C. Cornea
D. Cones
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for photopic (daylight) vision and color perception. There are three types of cones sensitive to blue, green, and red wavelengths. Rods are responsible for scotopic (dim light) vision and do not detect color. The cornea and lens focus light onto the retina.

Question #1
The 'Hormone Cholecystokinin' (CCK) is secreted by the I cells of the duodenal mucosa in response to the presence of fats and proteins. Its primary actions include:
A. Increasing blood glucose levels
B. Inhibiting the release of bile
C. Inhibiting gastric emptying and stimulating the gall bladder to contract and the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes
D. Stimulating gastric acid secretion

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone released by the I cells of the duodenum when acidic chyme containing fats (lipids) and partially digested proteins enters from the stomach. CCK has two major digestive actions: 1) It stimulates the gall bladder to contract, releasing stored bile into the duodenum to emulsify fats. 2) It stimulates the pancreatic acinar cells to secrete a juice rich in digestive enzymes (lipases, proteases, amylase). It also slows down gastric emptying, allowing more time for digestion in the small intestine.

Question #2
Crossing over occurs between:
A. Non-homologous chromosomes
B. Non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes
C. Two different cells
D. Sister chromatids of the same chromosome

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. This leads to genetic recombination. Sister chromatid exchange does occur but crossing over specifically refers to the exchange between homologues.

Question #3
The type of root that develops from any part of the plant other than the radicle is called:
A. Adventitious root
B. Fibrous root
C. Primary root
D. Taproot

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Adventitious roots arise from stem, leaf, or other non-root tissues, unlike taproots and fibrous roots that develop from the radicle. Examples: prop roots of banyan, stilt roots of maize, aerial roots of orchids. They can serve support, aeration, or additional absorption.
