The process by which mRNA is synthesized from DNA is:
A. Translation
B. Transformation
C. Transcription
D. Replication
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Transcription, catalyzed by RNA polymerase, copies the genetic information from a DNA template into a complementary mRNA molecule. Translation then uses this mRNA to synthesize proteins. Replication duplicates DNA, transformation is DNA uptake by bacteria.

Reason (R): They contain microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern.
A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
B. A true, R false.
C. A false, R true.
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.

Correct Answer: Option D

Question #3
The number of autosomes in a normal human sperm cell is:
A. 22
B. 44
C. 23
D. 46

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes: 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes (XX or XY). Sperm cells are haploid (n=23), containing 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome (either X or Y). The ovum also has 22 autosomes and one X. Fertilization restores 44 autosomes plus XX or XY. So sperm has 22 autosomes.
