Question #1
The technique used to amplify small quantities of DNA in vitro is:
A. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
B. Gel electrophoresis
C. Southern blotting
D. DNA sequencing

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
PCR, invented by Kary Mullis, allows exponential amplification of a specific DNA segment using a thermostable DNA polymerase (Taq polymerase), primers, and thermal cycling. Gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments, Southern blotting detects specific sequences, DNA sequencing determines the order of bases. PCR is widely used in diagnostics, forensics, and research.

Question #2
Consider statements about human digestion: 1. Pepsin digests proteins in the stomach. 2. Trypsin is secreted by the liver. 3. Lipase emulsifies fats. Which are correct?
A. 1 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Pepsin is the primary proteolytic enzyme in the stomach, breaking down proteins into peptones. Trypsin is a pancreatic enzyme secreted by the pancreas, not the liver, which continues protein digestion in the small intestine. Bile, produced by the liver, emulsifies fats, but lipase (pancreatic lipase) actually digests (hydrolyzes) them into fatty acids and glycerol. Only statement 1 is correct.

Question #3
Which of the following statements about plant tissues is correct?
A. Collenchyma provides mechanical support and is dead at maturity.
B. Xylem transports organic nutrients.
C. Phloem transports water and minerals.
D. Sclerenchyma cells have thick lignified walls and are often dead.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Sclerenchyma provides strength, with thick lignified walls; cells are usually dead at maturity. Xylem transports water, phloem transports food, collenchyma is living with uneven thickening.
