The layer of the skin that contains blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The layer of the skin that contains blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles is the:
A. Dermis
B. Stratum corneum
C. Epidermis
D. Hypodermis
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The dermis, lying beneath the epidermis, is a connective tissue layer containing collagen and elastin fibers, blood vessels, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands. The epidermis is the outermost protective layer, the hypodermis is subcutaneous fat, and the stratum corneum is the outermost part of the epidermis.

Question #1
In human blood, the universal recipient blood group is:
A. B positive
B. O negative
C. A negative
D. AB positive

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
AB positive blood has both A and B antigens and the Rh antigen, so it lacks antibodies against A, B, or Rh. Hence, individuals with AB+ can receive red blood cells from any donor without agglutination. O negative is the universal donor. Compatibility depends on antigens on donor RBCs and antibodies in recipient plasma.

Question #2
Crossing over occurs between:
A. Sister chromatids of the same chromosome
B. Non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes
C. Two different cells
D. Non-homologous chromosomes

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. This leads to genetic recombination. Sister chromatid exchange does occur but crossing over specifically refers to the exchange between homologues.

Question #3
Consider statements about genetics: 1. DNA is transcribed into mRNA. 2. mRNA is translated into protein. 3. tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Transcription is the process where the genetic information in a DNA sequence is copied into a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule by RNA polymerase. Translation is the process where the mRNA sequence is decoded by ribosomes to synthesize a specific polypeptide (protein). Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules act as adapters, carrying specific amino acids to the ribosome based on the mRNA codon. All statements are correct.
