The human organ that receives deoxygenated blood from the body is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The human organ that receives deoxygenated blood from the body is the:
A. Left ventricle
B. Left atrium
C. Right atrium
D. Right ventricle
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation via the superior and inferior vena cavae. It pumps blood to the right ventricle. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, the left ventricle pumps to the body, the right ventricle to the lungs.

Question #1
The structure that regulates the entry of light into the eye is the:
A. Cornea
B. Lens
C. Retina
D. Pupil

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris whose size is adjusted by the iris muscles to control the amount of light entering the eye. The cornea and lens focus light, the retina senses it. In bright light, the pupil constricts; in dim light, it dilates.

Question #2
RNA interference (RNAi) is a technique used in genetic engineering to silence specific genes. In the development of nematode-resistant transgenic tobacco plants, the source of the silencing RNA was:
A. A bacterium
B. The plant's own genome
C. The nematode itself (Agrobacterium-mediated delivery of nematode genes)
D. A virus

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
RNAi is a cellular defense mechanism in eukaryotes that silences specific mRNA. To create nematode-resistant tobacco, scientists used Agrobacterium as a vector to introduce nematode-specific genes into the host plant. The plant then produced both sense and anti-sense RNA for these genes. The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) formed triggered the RNAi pathway, degrading the nematide's mRNA when it tried to express those essential genes inside the plant roots, killing the nematode.

Question #3
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms. 2. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. 3. Viruses have a cellular structure. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms, characterized by the absence of a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, possessing a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and can be unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular (molds, mushrooms). Viruses are acellular, non-cellular entities; they consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat (capsid) and lack any cellular structure or metabolic machinery. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
