The ozone layer is located in which layer of the atmosphere? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The ozone layer is located in which layer of the atmosphere?
A. Mesosphere
B. Troposphere
C. Stratosphere
D. Thermosphere
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The ozone layer is in the stratosphere (15-35 km altitude), absorbing harmful UV-B and UV-C radiation. CFCs cause its depletion.

Question #1
Which of the following blood groups is considered the universal donor?
A. B negative
B. O negative
C. A positive
D. AB positive

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
O negative blood group lacks A and B antigens on RBCs and Rh antigen. Hence, it can be transfused to any person without causing agglutination, making it the universal donor. AB positive has both antigens and is the universal recipient. Blood grouping is based on ABO and Rh systems. O negative is crucial in emergency transfusions when blood type is unknown.

Question #2
The phase of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles relax and fill with blood is called:
A. Diastole
B. Atrial contraction
C. Systole
D. Ejection phase

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Diastole is the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle, during which the ventricles fill with blood from the atria. Systole is the contraction phase, pumping blood out. Atrial contraction (atrial systole) contributes to ventricular filling. Ejection phase is part of ventricular systole when blood is ejected. Normal diastolic and systolic pressures are 80 and 120 mmHg respectively.

Question #3
Assertion (A): Mitochondria and chloroplasts are considered semi-autonomous organelles. Reason (R): They possess their own DNA and ribosomes, and can synthesize some of their own proteins.
A. A is true, but R is false.
B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
C. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
D. A is false, but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain circular DNA and 70S ribosomes, enabling them to transcribe and translate some proteins independently, though they rely on nuclear genes for most proteins. This partial autonomy supports the endosymbiotic origin hypothesis. The presence of their own genetic material and protein synthesis machinery qualifies them as semi-autonomous. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
