The branch of biology concerned with the study of tissues is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The branch of biology concerned with the study of tissues is:
A. Anatomy
B. Cytology
C. Histology
D. Morphology
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Histology is the microscopic study of tissues—groups of cells with similar structure and function. Cytology deals with cells, anatomy with gross body structures, morphology with form and external features. Histological techniques involve staining and microscopy to examine tissue architecture in health and disease.

Question #1
Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The biceps is a muscle in the arm. 2. The quadriceps is a muscle in the thigh. 3. The diaphragm separates the thorax and abdomen. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The biceps brachii is a two-headed muscle located in the upper arm, responsible for flexing the elbow. The quadriceps femoris is a large, four-headed muscle group in the front of the thigh, extending the knee. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped skeletal muscle that forms the floor of the thoracic cavity and the roof of the abdominal cavity, crucial for breathing. All statements are correct.

Question #2
The genetic code is read in triplets of nucleotides called:
A. Codons
B. Introns
C. Exons
D. Anticodons

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The genetic code is a sequence of nucleotide triplets in mRNA called codons. Each codon consists of three consecutive nitrogenous bases and specifies a particular amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis. For example, AUG is the start codon (methionine). Anticodons are the complementary triplets found on tRNA molecules.

Question #3
The process of spermiogenesis refers to:
A. The release of spermatozoa from the seminiferous tubules into the lumen
B. The formation of spermatogonia from stem cells
C. The meiotic division of primary spermatocytes to form spermatids
D. The transformation of spermatids into mature, motile spermatozoa

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, where the spherical, non-motile spermatids undergo a complex morphological transformation to become highly specialized, motile spermatozoa (sperm). This involves the formation of the acrosome, condensation of the nucleus, development of the flagellum (tail), and the shedding of excess cytoplasm. Spermiation is the subsequent release of these mature sperm into the tubule lumen.
