In the female reproductive system, fertilization normally occurs in the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In the female reproductive system, fertilization normally occurs in the:
A. Uterus
B. Ovary
C. Fallopian tube (oviduct)
D. Cervix
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The fallopian tube (oviduct) is the site of fertilization where sperm meets the ovum. The fertilized zygote then travels to the uterus for implantation. Ovary releases the ovum. The uterus is the site of implantation and fetal development. Cervix is the lower narrow portion of the uterus. The ampulla of the fallopian tube is the most common fertilization site.

Question #1
The technique of producing genetically identical individuals from a single cell is:
A. Mutation breeding
B. Hybridization
C. Cloning
D. Cross breeding

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Cloning produces genetically identical copies of an organism or cell. In animals, somatic cell nuclear transfer (like Dolly the sheep) is used. Plant cloning occurs via vegetative propagation or tissue culture. Hybridization combines different genomes; mutation breeding induces mutations; cross breeding involves mating. Cloning has applications in therapeutics, conservation, and agriculture.

Question #2
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by hyperthyroidism. It is caused by the production of autoantibodies that:
A. Block the TSH receptors on the thyroid gland
B. Target the parathyroid glands
C. Mimic TSH and continuously stimulate the TSH receptors
D. Destroy the thyroid follicular cells

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Graves' disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system produces thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSIs). These autoantibodies bind to and mimic the action of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) on the TSH receptors of the thyroid gland. This continuous, unregulated stimulation causes the thyroid to overproduce thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), leading to hyperthyroidism, goiter, and often exophthalmos (bulging eyes).

Question #3
The vitamin that is required for the formation of the visual pigment rhodopsin is:
A. Vitamin B₁
B. Vitamin C
C. Vitamin A
D. Vitamin D

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vitamin A (retinal) combines with opsin to form rhodopsin in rod cells, necessary for vision in dim light. Deficiency causes night blindness. B₁ is for carbohydrate metabolism, C for collagen, D for calcium.
