Consider statements about cell biology: 1. The Golgi apparatus packages materials for secretion. 2. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis. 3. The rough ER is involved in lipid synthesis. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Golgi apparatus consists of cisternae that modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids received from the ER for secretion or delivery to other organelles. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes and is the primary site for the synthesis of lipids, including phospholipids and steroids. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached and is primarily involved in protein synthesis, not lipid synthesis. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
Consider statements about genetics: 1. A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a protein. 2. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene. 3. The phenotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. Which are correct?
Explanation:
A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA that serves as the fundamental unit of heredity, typically coding for a specific protein or RNA molecule. Alleles are different versions or alternative forms of the same gene that occupy the same locus on homologous chromosomes and determine variations in a trait. The genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism, while the phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
Explanation:
Thrombin converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin monomers, which polymerize and cross-link to form a stable blood clot. Fibrinogen is the precursor, prothrombin is the precursor of thrombin. The clotting cascade amplifies the signal.
Explanation:
AB positive blood has both A and B antigens and the Rh antigen, so it lacks antibodies against A, B, or Rh. Hence, individuals with AB+ can receive red blood cells from any donor without agglutination. O negative is the universal donor. Compatibility depends on antigens on donor RBCs and antibodies in recipient plasma.
