The functional connection between two bones is called a: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The functional connection between two bones is called a:
A. Joint
B. Ligament
C. Cartilage
D. Tendon
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
A joint (articulation) is the site where two or more bones meet, allowing movement (synovial joints) or providing stability (fibrous and cartilaginous joints). Tendons connect muscle to bone, ligaments connect bone to bone. Cartilage is a connective tissue that cushions joints. The elbow, knee, and hip are examples of synovial joints.

Question #1
Consider statements about viruses: 1. They possess both DNA and RNA. 2. They are obligate intracellular parasites. 3. They can be crystallized. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Viruses are unique entities containing either DNA or RNA, never both simultaneously, enclosed in a protein capsid. They are obligate intracellular parasites, requiring a host cell's machinery to replicate. Despite being biological entities, they can be crystallized like chemicals, as demonstrated by W.M. Stanley with TMV. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct.

Question #2
In a food chain, the trophic level with the greatest amount of energy is:
A. Primary consumers
B. Tertiary consumers
C. Secondary consumers
D. Producers

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Producers (autotrophs) capture solar energy and form the base of the energy pyramid; they contain the largest amount of energy. Only about 10% of energy is transferred to the next trophic level (primary consumers). Energy decreases at each successive level, making producers the most energy-rich.

Question #3
The valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is the:
A. Tricuspid valve
B. Pulmonary semilunar valve
C. Mitral valve
D. Aortic semilunar valve

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The tricuspid valve has three cusps and prevents backflow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atrium during contraction. The mitral (bicuspid) valve is on the left side. Semilunar valves are at the ventricular outlets.
