Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Artificial insemination improves cattle breeds. 2. Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer is used in poultry. 3. Crossbreeding combines traits of two breeds. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Artificial insemination improves cattle breeds. 2. Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer is used in poultry. 3. Crossbreeding combines traits of two breeds. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Artificial insemination allows the use of superior bull semen to improve cattle genetics widely. Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) is a technique used in cattle and other mammals to increase herd improvement rates, not in poultry (which uses hatching eggs). Crossbreeding involves mating animals of different breeds to combine desirable traits and exploit hybrid vigor. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #1
The enzyme telomerase is highly active in which type of cells?
A. Somatic cells
B. Mature red blood cells
C. Stem cells and cancer cells
D. Neurons

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that adds repetitive nucleotide sequences to the ends of chromosomes (telomeres), preventing them from shortening during DNA replication. It is highly active in germ cells, stem cells, and most cancer cells, granting them replicative immortality. In most normal somatic cells, telomerase is inactive, leading to gradual telomere shortening and cellular aging.

Question #2
Which of the following statements about the human blood is correct?
A. Rh-negative individuals have the Rh antigen.
B. A person with blood group AB can donate blood to all other groups.
C. O-negative blood is the universal donor for red cells.
D. Plasma does not contain water.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
O negative lacks A, B, and Rh antigens, so it can be given to anyone (RBCs). AB is universal recipient. Rh-negative lacks Rh antigen. Plasma is 90% water.

Question #3
The 'Bundle of His' and 'Purkinje fibers' are specialized structures found in the:
A. Heart
B. Kidneys
C. Brain
D. Lungs

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Bundle of His and Purkinje fibers are part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The Bundle of His carries the electrical impulse from the atrioventricular (AV) node down the interventricular septum. It then divides into right and left bundle branches, which terminate in the Purkinje fibers. These fibers rapidly distribute the impulse throughout the ventricular myocardium, ensuring coordinated ventricular contraction.
