Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is stored in the liver. 2. Vitamin B complex is water-soluble. 3. Excess Vitamin D is easily excreted. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is stored in the liver. 2. Vitamin B complex is water-soluble. 3. Excess Vitamin D is easily excreted. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin stored primarily in the liver, and excess can lead to toxicity. The B-complex vitamins are water-soluble and generally not stored in the body in significant amounts. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are stored in body fat and liver, making excess Vitamin D difficult to excrete, potentially causing hypervitaminosis D. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
The forelimbs of humans, whales, and bats exhibit similarity in basic structure due to common ancestry. This is an example of:
A. Homologous organs
B. Adaptive radiation
C. Vestigial organs
D. Analogous organs

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Homologous organs share a common ancestral origin and structural plan but may have different functions (e.g., human arm, whale flipper, bat wing). This indicates divergent evolution. Analogous organs have different origins but similar functions (e.g., wings of birds and insects) due to convergent evolution. Vestigial organs are reduced and non-functional, like the human appendix.

Question #2
Which organelle is called the 'kitchen of the cell'?
A. Ribosome
B. Chloroplast
C. Mitochondria
D. Golgi apparatus

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis in plant cells, converting solar energy into chemical energy (food). Hence they are called the kitchen of the cell. Mitochondria are the powerhouse, generating ATP; ribosomes are protein factories; Golgi apparatus is the packaging center.

Question #3
Consider statements about evolution: 1. Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequencies. 2. Gene flow occurs through migration. 3. Natural selection is a random process. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Genetic drift is the random fluctuation of allele frequencies in a population, particularly significant in small populations, due to chance events. Gene flow (migration) is the transfer of alleles from one population to another through the movement of individuals or gametes. Natural selection is a non-random, deterministic process where individuals with traits better suited to their environment have higher survival and reproductive success. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
