The molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome is:
A. mRNA
B. rRNA
C. snRNA
D. tRNA
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribed from DNA and carries the codon sequence to ribosomes, where it is translated into a polypeptide. tRNA brings amino acids, rRNA forms ribosomal structure, snRNA involved in splicing.

Question #1
Assertion (A): Plant cells possess a large central vacuole. Reason (R): The vacuole stores waste products and maintains turgor pressure.
A. A is false, but R is true.
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
C. A is true, but R is false.
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Mature plant cells contain a large central vacuole that stores water, ions, pigments, and waste products, and is critical for maintaining turgor pressure against the cell wall, providing structural support. The vacuole can occupy up to 90% of cell volume. The reason correctly explains the function of the vacuole, so both statements are true and linked.

Question #2
The bacterium used in the production of acetic acid (vinegar) is:
A. Acetobacter aceti
B. Escherichia coli
C. Streptomyces
D. Lactobacillus

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Acetobacter aceti oxidizes ethanol to acetic acid under aerobic conditions, used in vinegar production. Lactobacillus produces lactic acid, Streptomyces produces antibiotics, E. coli is used in genetic engineering but not vinegar.

Question #3
The pollen tube enters the ovule through the:
A. Hilum
B. Micropyle
C. Chalaza
D. Funicle

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The pollen tube typically enters the ovule through the micropyle, a small opening in the integuments. This is called porogamy. Occasionally, entry through the chalaza (chalazogamy) or integuments (mesogamy) occurs. The micropyle also allows water entry during seed germination.
