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. tRNA
B. mRNA
C. rRNA
D. snRNA
Answer: Option B
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
The hormone responsible for the male secondary sexual characteristics is:
A. Testosterone
B. Estrogen
C. Prolactin
D. Progesterone

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Testosterone, produced by Leydig cells in the testes, promotes development of male characteristics like facial hair, deepening of voice, and muscle growth. It also regulates spermatogenesis.

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

Correct Answer: Option C


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
Consider statements about biotechnology: 1. Genetic engineering can create transgenic organisms. 2. Cloning produces genetically identical copies. 3. Tissue culture is used for animal cloning only. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Genetic engineering involves the direct manipulation of an organism's genome, often used to create transgenic organisms that contain foreign DNA (transgenes) for desired traits. Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical copies of a biological entity, ranging from genes to entire organisms. Tissue culture (micropropagation) is widely used for the rapid, large-scale propagation of plants from small explants in a sterile medium; it is not exclusively or primarily used for animal cloning. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
