Question #1
Assertion (A): Gymnosperms do not produce fruits.
Reason (R): Their seeds are not enclosed within an ovary.
A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
B. A true, R false.
C. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
D. A false, R true.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Gymnosperms have naked seeds on cones, not in an ovary; hence no fruit. Angiosperms have enclosed seeds. R correctly explains A.

Question #2
Identify the INCORRECT statement about the endocrine system:
A. The pituitary gland controls other endocrine glands.
B. The adrenal medulla produces cortisol.
C. The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon.
D. The thyroid gland produces thyroxine.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The adrenal medulla produces adrenaline and noradrenaline; cortisol is produced by the adrenal cortex. So B is incorrect.

Question #3
The 'Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty' experiment in 1944 provided strong evidence that:
A. RNA is the genetic material in some viruses
B. Proteins are the genetic material
C. Lipids are the genetic material
D. DNA is the genetic material

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty conducted a landmark experiment building on Griffith's transformation experiment. They purified various macromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids) from the virulent S strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae and tested which one could transform the non-virulent R strain into the virulent form. They found that only DNA could cause transformation, and this activity was destroyed by DNase but not by RNase or proteases. This provided the first strong, direct evidence that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material.
