Consider statements about five kingdom classification: 1. Monera includes all prokaryotes. 2. Protista includes unicellular eukaryotes. 3. Fungi are photosynthetic autotrophs. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about five kingdom classification: 1. Monera includes all prokaryotes. 2. Protista includes unicellular eukaryotes. 3. Fungi are photosynthetic autotrophs. 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)
R.H. Whittaker's five kingdom classification places all prokaryotic organisms in Kingdom Monera and unicellular eukaryotes in Kingdom Protista. Fungi are a distinct kingdom characterized by heterotrophic nutrition, primarily saprophytic or parasitic, and possess chitinous cell walls. They are not photosynthetic autotrophs. Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct, while 3 is incorrect.

Question #1
The process of separating proteins based on their net charge is:
A. Ion exchange chromatography
B. SDS-PAGE
C. Gel filtration chromatography
D. Affinity chromatography

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ion exchange chromatography separates proteins based on their net surface charge; positively charged proteins bind to cation exchangers, negatively to anion exchangers. Gel filtration separates by size, affinity by specific binding, SDS-PAGE by molecular weight.

Question #2
The molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome is:
A. tRNA
B. rRNA
C. mRNA
D. snRNA

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribed from DNA and carries the codon sequence to ribosomes, where it is translated into a polypeptide. tRNA brings amino acids, rRNA forms ribosomal structure, snRNA involved in splicing.

Question #3
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Innate immunity is present from birth. 2. Acquired immunity develops after exposure to an antigen. 3. Vaccines provide natural immunity. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Innate (natural) immunity is the non-specific defense mechanism present from birth, including physical barriers like skin and chemical barriers like stomach acid. Acquired (adaptive) immunity is highly specific and develops after the body is exposed to a specific pathogen or antigen, involving the production of antibodies and memory cells. Vaccines provide artificial immunity (specifically, artificial active immunity), not natural immunity, which is acquired through actual infection or from mother to child. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
