Question #1
Which of the following is a plant hormone that promotes seed germination?
A. Ethylene
B. Abscisic acid
C. Gibberellin
D. Cytokinin

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Gibberellins stimulate seed germination by activating synthesis of hydrolytic enzymes (amylase) that break down stored food reserves. They also promote stem elongation. Abscisic acid inhibits germination and promotes dormancy. Ethylene is for ripening, cytokinins for cell division. The GA:ABA ratio determines germination vs dormancy.

Question #2
The shape of a bacterial chromosome is typically:
A. Triangular
B. Linear
C. Fragmented
D. Circular

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Most bacteria possess a single circular double-stranded DNA molecule located in the nucleoid region. Some bacteria may also have linear chromosomes or multiple chromosomes, but the typical prokaryotic chromosome is circular. Eukaryotes have linear chromosomes. Plasmids are small, circular extra-chromosomal DNA in bacteria.

The process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide is called:
A. Respiration
B. Excretion
C. Digestion
D. Circulation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Respiration includes external respiration (breathing, gas exchange) and internal respiration (cellular metabolism). Digestion is food breakdown, circulation is transport, excretion is waste removal.
