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

The functional connection between two bones is called a:
A. Cartilage
B. Ligament
C. Tendon
D. Joint
Answer: Option D
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 human immunity: 1. Innate immunity is present from birth. 2. Acquired immunity develops after exposure to an antigen. 3. Vaccines provide natural immunity. 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 C


Explanation:
Innate (natural) immunity is the non-specific defense mechanism present from birth, including physical barriers like skin and chemical barriers like stomach acid. Acquired (adaptive) immunity is highly specific and develops after the body is exposed to a specific pathogen or antigen, involving the production of antibodies and memory cells. Vaccines provide artificial immunity (specifically, artificial active immunity), not natural immunity, which is acquired through actual infection or from mother to child. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The outermost extraembryonic membrane that contributes to the formation of the placenta is the:
A. Chorion
B. Allantois
C. Amnion
D. Yolk sac

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The chorion is the outermost membrane surrounding the embryo. It forms chorionic villi that interdigitate with maternal uterine tissue to form the placenta, facilitating nutrient and gas exchange. The amnion surrounds the embryo, forming a fluid-filled cavity. The yolk sac is involved in early nutrition, allantois forms part of the umbilical cord. The chorion is derived from trophoblast and extraembryonic mesoderm.

Question #3
Which type of plastid stores starch?
A. Chromoplast
B. Leucoplast
C. Chloroplast
D. Etioplast

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Leucoplasts are colourless plastids that store nutrients: amyloplasts store starch, elaioplasts store lipids, aleuroplasts store proteins. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, chromoplasts give yellow/orange colour (carotenoids), etioplasts are undeveloped chloroplasts in dark-grown plants. Amyloplasts are abundant in roots and tubers like potato.
