Identify the correct statement about the human respiratory system: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the correct statement about the human respiratory system:
A. Alveoli are surrounded by capillaries for gas exchange.
B. The diaphragm relaxes during inhalation.
C. Inhalation is a passive process.
D. The trachea branches into two bronchioles.
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Alveoli have a rich capillary network for O₂/CO₂ exchange. Inhalation is active (diaphragm contracts), trachea divides into two bronchi (not bronchioles).

The term for a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that specifies an amino acid is:
A. Exon
B. Codon
C. Anticodon
D. Intron

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A codon is a triplet of nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid or signals termination of translation. There are 64 codons; 61 code for amino acids and 3 are stop codons. Anticodons are on tRNA, exons are coding regions of DNA, introns are non-coding.

Question #2
Consider statements about ecology: 1. Primary succession occurs on bare rock. 2. Secondary succession occurs after a forest fire. 3. Climax community is unstable. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Primary succession begins on lifeless, barren substrates like bare rock, where no soil exists initially. Secondary succession occurs in areas where an existing community has been destroyed by disturbances like forest fires, floods, or logging, but soil remains. A climax community is the final, stable, and self-perpetuating stage of ecological succession, in equilibrium with the environment. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
