Question #1
The hormone that stimulates the secretion of gastric acid is:
A. GIP
B. Secretin
C. CCK
D. Gastrin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Gastrin, released by G cells in the stomach antrum, stimulates parietal cells to secrete HCl. Secretin stimulates bicarbonate, CCK stimulates enzyme secretion and gallbladder contraction, GIP inhibits gastric secretion.

Question #2
In molecular biology, the 'Wobble hypothesis' explains the flexibility in base pairing between the:
A. Second base of the codon and the second base of the anticodon
B. First base of the codon and the first base of the anticodon
C. DNA template and the newly synthesized mRNA
D. Third base of the codon and the first base of the anticodon

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Wobble hypothesis, proposed by Francis Crick, explains the degeneracy of the genetic code. It states that the base pairing rules (A-U, G-C) are strictly followed for the first two bases of the mRNA codon, but the third base of the codon (the 3' end) can form non-standard or 'wobble' base pairs with the first base of the tRNA anticodon (the 5' end). This allows a single tRNA molecule to recognize and bind to more than one synonymous codon.

Question #3
The structure that connects the bones and allows movement is:
A. Joint
B. Tendon
C. Cartilage
D. Ligament

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A joint (articulation) is where two or more bones meet, allowing varying degrees of movement. Tendons connect muscle to bone, ligaments bone to bone, cartilage cushions. Joints are classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.
