C. Aorta
D. Superior vena cava
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The superior vena cava drains deoxygenated blood from the head, neck, arms, and upper thorax into the right atrium. The inferior vena cava drains the lower body. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood, aorta carries oxygenated blood from left ventricle to body.

Question #2
In the human body, the 'Basal ganglia' are a group of subcortical nuclei located deep within the cerebral hemispheres. They are primarily involved in:
A. Processing visual information
B. Regulating voluntary motor movements, procedural learning, and habit formation
C. Controlling the endocrine system
D. Regulating the sleep-wake cycle

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The basal ganglia are a group of interconnected subcortical nuclei (including the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and subthalamic nucleus) located deep within the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres. They are crucial components of the extrapyramidal motor system. Their primary functions are to regulate voluntary motor movements (by facilitating desired movements and inhibiting unwanted ones), procedural learning (learning by repetition), routine behaviors, and habit formation. Dysfunction of the basal ganglia leads to movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.

Question #3
Which of the following is NOT a nitrogenous base found in DNA?
A. Guanine
B. Adenine
C. Thymine
D. Uracil

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
DNA contains adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains uracil instead of thymine. This is one of the key differences between DNA and RNA. Uracil pairs with adenine in RNA. The base pairing in DNA is A-T and G-C. In RNA, it is A-U and G-C. Uracil lacks the methyl group present in thymine.
