The process by which the neural plate forms the neural tube during embryonic development is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process by which the neural plate forms the neural tube during embryonic development is:
A. Gastrulation
B. Organogenesis
C. Neurulation
D. Cleavage
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Neurulation involves the folding of the neural plate to form the neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord. Gastrulation forms germ layers.

Question #1
Transpiration in plants mainly occurs through:
A. Hydathodes
B. Stomata
C. Cuticle
D. Lenticels

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Stomatal transpiration accounts for about 80-90% of total water loss from plants. Stomata are microscopic pores on leaves, surrounded by guard cells. Cuticular transpiration occurs through the cuticle but is minimal. Lenticular transpiration is through lenticels on woody stems. Hydathodes are involved in guttation, not transpiration. Transpiration creates transpiration pull essential for water ascent in xylem.

Question #2
The enzyme that removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA during replication is:
A. DNA polymerase III
B. Helicase
C. DNA polymerase I
D. Ligase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In prokaryotes, DNA polymerase I has 5'→3' exonuclease activity that removes the RNA primer and fills the gap with DNA. DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides to the growing strand. Ligase seals the nicks. Helicase unwinds DNA. In eukaryotes, RNase H removes primers and DNA polymerase δ fills the gap.

Question #3
The organism that causes citrus canker is:
A. Fungus
B. Mycoplasma
C. Virus
D. Bacterium

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Citrus canker is a bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas citri (syn. X. axonopodis pv. citri). It produces raised necrotic lesions on leaves, fruit, and stems, causing defoliation and reduced yield. It spreads via rain splash and contaminated tools. No viral or fungal causal agent.
