Consider the following statements about the circulatory system of insects: 1. It is an open circulatory system. 2. Hemolymph is the circulating fluid. 3. Blood is contained in vessels at all times. Which of the above is/are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider the following statements about the circulatory system of insects:
1. It is an open circulatory system.
2. Hemolymph is the circulating fluid.
3. Blood is contained in vessels at all times.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 1, 2, and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Insects have an open circulatory system where hemolymph bathes organs directly, not always in vessels. Thus, 3 is incorrect.

Question #1
The gap between two neurons across which nerve impulses pass is called:
A. Soma
B. Axon
C. Synapse
D. Dendrite

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A synapse is the junction between two neurons (or neuron and effector) where the nerve impulse is transmitted from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron, usually via neurotransmitters. Axon carries impulses away from the cell body, dendrites receive signals, soma is the cell body. Synaptic transmission can be chemical or electrical.

Question #2
The centriole is involved in which cellular process?
A. Protein synthesis
B. Lipid synthesis
C. Cell division
D. Photosynthesis

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Centrioles are cylindrical microtubular structures found near the nucleus in animal cells, forming the centrosome. They organize spindle fibers during cell division (mitosis and meiosis) and are also the basal bodies of cilia and flagella. They are absent in higher plant cells. Centrioles duplicate during S phase and migrate to poles during prophase.

Question #3
In a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous pea plants (Tt), the phenotypic ratio of tall to dwarf in the offspring is expected to be:
A. 1:2:1
B. 9:3:3:1
C. 3:1
D. 1:1

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When both parents are heterozygous (Tt × Tt), the offspring genotypes are TT (25%), Tt (50%), and tt (25%). Since tall (T) is dominant over dwarf (t), both TT and Tt are tall, resulting in 3 tall : 1 dwarf phenotypic ratio. The genotypic ratio is 1:2:1. 9:3:3:1 is the dihybrid phenotypic ratio. 1:1 ratio is seen in test cross (Tt × tt).
