A. Liver
B. Pancreas
C. Stomach
D. Duodenum
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

Question #1
Consider statements about biotechnology: 1. Gene therapy aims to correct genetic defects. 2. Transgenic animals have foreign DNA in their genome. 3. Biopesticides are highly toxic to humans. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Gene therapy is an experimental technique that involves introducing genes into a patient's cells to correct or compensate for genetic defects causing disease. Transgenic animals have had their genome deliberately altered by the insertion of foreign DNA from another species. Biopesticides, derived from natural materials like bacteria, plants, or minerals, are generally target-specific and non-toxic to humans and the environment, unlike synthetic chemical pesticides. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The valve that prevents backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium is the:
A. Bicuspid valve
B. Pulmonary valve
C. Tricuspid valve
D. Aortic valve

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve) has three cusps and closes during ventricular systole to prevent regurgitation into the right atrium. The bicuspid (mitral) is on the left side. Aortic and pulmonary valves are semilunar valves at the ventricular outlets.

Question #3
Consider statements about cell biology: 1. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable. 2. The nucleolus is the site of protein synthesis. 3. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable, regulating the entry and exit of specific molecules into and out of the cell. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing powerful hydrolytic (digestive) enzymes for intracellular digestion. The nucleolus is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and ribosome assembly, not protein synthesis, which occurs at ribosomes. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
