The process by which pollen grains are transferred to the stigma is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process by which pollen grains are transferred to the stigma is called:
A. Pollination
B. Fertilization
C. Germination
D. Dispersal
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower, a prerequisite for fertilization. Fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes. Germination is seed growth, dispersal is seed spreading.

Question #1
The 'Hormone Luteinizing Hormone' (LH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary. In females, the mid-cycle surge of LH directly triggers:
A. The growth of ovarian follicles
B. Menstruation
C. The thickening of the uterine lining
D. Ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a gonadotropin secreted by the gonadotroph cells of the anterior pituitary. In females, during the late follicular phase, rising estrogen levels exert positive feedback on the pituitary, causing a massive, sudden surge of LH (the LH surge). This surge directly triggers ovulation (the rupture of the mature Graafian follicle and release of the secondary oocyte) and subsequently stimulates the remaining follicular cells to transform into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone.

Question #2
The phenomenon that explains the movement of water from roots to leaves against gravity is mainly:
A. Capillary action
B. Transpiration-cohesion-tension mechanism
C. Active transport
D. Root pressure

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The cohesion-tension theory (transpiration pull) is the primary mechanism for water ascent in tall trees. Transpiration creates negative pressure (tension) in leaves, water molecules cohere, and the column is pulled up. Root pressure and capillary action play minor roles. The cohesion of water is due to hydrogen bonds.

Question #3
The vitamin deficiency that leads to megaloblastic anemia is:
A. Vitamin C and E
B. Vitamin B₁ and B₂
C. Vitamin A and K
D. Vitamin B₉ and B₁₂

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Folate (B₉) and vitamin B₁₂ are required for DNA synthesis. Deficiency leads to impaired cell division in bone marrow, producing large, immature erythrocytes (megaloblasts), causing megaloblastic anemia. Iron deficiency causes microcytic anemia.
