The enzyme that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The enzyme that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I is:
A. Pepsin
B. Renin
C. ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme)
D. Trypsin
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Renin, released by juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney when blood pressure drops, cleaves angiotensinogen (from liver) to angiotensin I. ACE then converts angiotensin I to the active angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor and stimulator of aldosterone. Pepsin and trypsin are digestive proteases.

Question #1
A mutation that involves the change of a single nucleotide base in the DNA sequence is called a:
A. Frameshift mutation
B. Inversion
C. Chromosomal deletion
D. Point mutation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A point mutation is a genetic mutation where a single nucleotide base is changed, inserted, or deleted from a sequence of DNA or RNA. The classic example is sickle cell anemia, caused by a single point mutation in the beta-globin gene, where adenine is replaced by thymine, changing the amino acid from glutamic acid to valine.

The organism that causes 'black rust' of wheat is a:
A. Fungus
B. Mycoplasma
C. Virus
D. Bacterium

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Black stem rust of wheat is caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis tritici, a basidiomycete that produces reddish-brown uredospores and black teliospores. It requires barberry as an alternate host. It is a major disease causing significant crop losses.

Question #3
The process by which bacteria acquire genes from the environment is:
A. Translation
B. Conjugation
C. Transduction
D. Transformation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Transformation is the uptake of free DNA from the surroundings and its incorporation into the bacterial genome. Conjugation requires cell-to-cell contact via pilus, transduction involves bacteriophage, translation is protein synthesis.
