Consider statements about angiosperms: 1. They have enclosed seeds. 2. They exhibit double fertilization. 3. All angiosperms are trees. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Angiosperms are flowering plants where seeds are enclosed within a mature ovary (fruit). They are characterized by double fertilization, where one male gamete fuses with the egg and the other with the secondary nucleus. They exhibit immense diversity in habit, ranging from tiny aquatic Wolffia to massive trees, so not all are trees. Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Consider statements about ecology: 1. Primary succession occurs on bare rock. 2. Secondary succession occurs after a forest fire. 3. Climax community is unstable. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Primary succession begins on lifeless, barren substrates like bare rock, where no soil exists initially. Secondary succession occurs in areas where an existing community has been destroyed by disturbances like forest fires, floods, or logging, but soil remains. A climax community is the final, stable, and self-perpetuating stage of ecological succession, in equilibrium with the environment. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The volume of air that remains in the lungs after a maximum forced expiration is called:
A. Vital capacity
B. Inspiratory reserve volume
C. Tidal volume
D. Residual volume

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Residual volume (RV) is the air left in the lungs (about 1.2 L) after a forceful expiration. This prevents lung collapse and ensures continuous gas exchange between breaths. Tidal volume is normal breath volume, vital capacity is the maximum exhaled after maximum inhalation, and inspiratory reserve volume is the extra air that can be inhaled beyond tidal volume.
