Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The skeletal system provides support and protection. 2. The muscular system enables movement. 3. The endocrine system produces hormones. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The skeletal system, composed of bones and cartilage, provides structural support for the body, protects vital internal organs (like the brain and heart), and serves as a site for muscle attachment. The muscular system, consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles, contracts to produce movement of the body and internal organs. The endocrine system comprises glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate various physiological processes. All statements are correct.

Question #1
The structure of DNA was discovered by:
A. Mendel and Morgan
B. Hershey and Chase
C. Watson and Crick
D. Beadle and Tatum

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
James Watson and Francis Crick, in 1953, proposed the double helix model of DNA based on X-ray diffraction data from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Mendel discovered laws of heredity, Morgan linked genes to chromosomes, Beadle and Tatum proposed one gene-one enzyme, Hershey and Chase confirmed DNA as genetic material.

Question #2
The largest and most diverse phylum in the animal kingdom is:
A. Chordata
B. Mollusca
C. Arthropoda
D. Annelida

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Arthropoda is the largest phylum, with over a million described species, including insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods. They are characterized by jointed appendages, chitinous exoskeleton, and segmented bodies. Insects alone represent the majority of animal species. Chordata is comparatively smaller.

Question #3
The antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis is:
A. Chloramphenicol
B. Penicillin
C. Tetracycline
D. Streptomycin

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics (cephalosporins, carbapenems) inhibit the transpeptidase enzyme involved in cross-linking peptidoglycan, weakening the cell wall and causing bacterial lysis. Tetracycline and streptomycin inhibit protein synthesis by acting on ribosomes. Chloramphenicol also inhibits protein synthesis. Penicillin is most effective against actively dividing gram-positive bacteria.
