Identify the correct statement about the digestive enzymes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the correct statement about the digestive enzymes:
A. Pepsinogen is active without HCl.
B. Ptyalin is a lipase.
C. Trypsin is secreted by the pancreas.
D. Sucrase breaks down lactose.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Trypsin is a pancreatic protease. Ptyalin is an amylase, pepsinogen requires HCl for activation, sucrase acts on sucrose, lactase on lactose.

Question #1
Which of the following features differentiates mitosis from meiosis?
A. Synapsis and crossing over
B. Spindle fibre formation
C. Chromosome duplication
D. Separation of sister chromatids

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Synapsis (pairing of homologous chromosomes) and crossing over (exchange of genetic material) occur during prophase I of meiosis, not in mitosis. Mitosis involves one division producing two genetically identical diploid daughter cells. Meiosis involves two divisions producing four haploid gametes with genetic variation. Chromosome duplication and sister chromatid separation occur in both. Spindle fibres form in both divisions. Thus, synapsis and crossing over are unique to meiosis.

Question #2
Which part of the human brain controls involuntary functions like breathing and heartbeat?
A. Hypothalamus
B. Medulla oblongata
C. Cerebrum
D. Cerebellum

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The medulla oblongata, part of the brainstem, contains vital centers that control respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also regulates reflex actions like coughing, swallowing, and vomiting. The cerebrum is for voluntary actions and thinking, cerebellum for coordination, and hypothalamus for homeostasis and endocrine control.

Question #3
The technique used to analyze the transcriptome of a cell is:
A. Metabolomics
B. Proteomics
C. Transcriptomics
D. Genomics

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Transcriptomics studies the complete set of RNA transcripts (transcriptome) produced by the genome under specific conditions. It often uses microarrays or RNA-seq. Genomics is DNA, proteomics proteins, metabolomics metabolites.
