Question #1
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria are prokaryotic. 2. Fungi have chlorophyll. 3. Viruses can reproduce without a host. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes lacking a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Fungi are heterotrophic eukaryotes that lack chlorophyll and cannot perform photosynthesis. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that lack metabolic machinery and absolutely require a living host cell to replicate. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.

Question #2
In human genetics, 'Color blindness' is an X-linked recessive trait. If a colorblind man marries a carrier woman, what is the probability that their son will be colorblind?
A. 0%
B. 50%
C. 25%
D. 100%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. Let X^c be the colorblind allele and X^C be the normal allele. The colorblind man's genotype is X^cY. The carrier woman's genotype is X^CX^c. When they have children, the sons will receive the Y chromosome from the father and one X chromosome from the mother. The mother can pass either X^C (normal vision) or X^c (colorblind) with equal probability. Therefore, there is a 50% chance (1/2) that a son will inherit X^cY and be colorblind.

Question #3
Which of the following is an essential amino acid that must be obtained from the diet?
A. Alanine
B. Lysine
C. Serine
D. Glycine

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Essential amino acids are those that the human body cannot synthesize in sufficient quantities and must be obtained through the diet. There are nine essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Glycine, alanine, and serine are non-essential amino acids that the body can produce.
