Consider statements about scientists: 1. Carolus Linnaeus developed binomial nomenclature. 2. Louis Pasteur developed the rabies vaccine. 3. Gregor Mendel discovered the structure of DNA. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Dendrites are branched extensions of the neuron cell body that receive synaptic inputs from other neurons and transmit graded potentials towards the soma. The axon conducts action potentials away from the soma to the terminals, which then synapse with other cells. Dendrites have receptor sites for neurotransmitters.

Explanation:
The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries enclosed by the Bowman's capsule, where ultrafiltration occurs due to high hydrostatic pressure in the afferent arteriole. It filters water, ions, glucose, amino acids, urea into Bowman's space. Proteins and cells are retained. Filtration is passive. The filtrate then passes through the tubules for processing. GFR is regulated by JGA.

Explanation:
The TATA box (consensus sequence TATAAA) is a highly conserved DNA sequence located about 25-30 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site in the promoter region of many eukaryotic genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II. It is specifically recognized and bound by the TATA-binding protein (TBP), which is a crucial subunit of the general transcription factor TFIID. The binding of TBP initiates the assembly of the pre-initiation complex, including RNA polymerase II, allowing transcription to begin.
