Identify the INCORRECT statement about cell division: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the INCORRECT statement about cell division:
A. Meiosis results in four haploid cells.
B. Crossing over occurs in mitosis.
C. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells.
D. Cytokinesis follows nuclear division.
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis, not in mitosis. Mitosis produces identical diploid cells, meiosis reduces chromosome number by half, and cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm.

Question #1
Which of the following statements about the chloroplast is correct?
A. Thylakoids are stacked to form cristae.
B. It is found in all eukaryotic cells.
C. It has 70S ribosomes in its outer membrane.
D. The stroma is the site of the Calvin cycle.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma. Chloroplasts are only in plants/algae; thylakoids stack into grana; cristae are in mitochondria; 70S ribosomes are in stroma, not membrane.

Question #2
Which of the following statements about enzymes is correct?
A. Cofactors are always organic molecules.
B. Enzymes increase the activation energy of reactions.
C. Enzymes are non-specific in their action.
D. All enzymes are proteins.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Almost all enzymes are proteins (except ribozymes). They lower activation energy, are highly specific, and cofactors can be inorganic (metal ions) or organic (coenzymes).

Question #3
Assertion (A): The process of breathing is also called pulmonary ventilation.
Reason (R): It involves the movement of air into and out of the lungs.
A. A false, R true.
B. A true, R false.
C. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
