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. Neurulation
B. Cleavage
C. Organogenesis
D. Gastrulation
Answer: Option A
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
The chemical name of vitamin B₂ is:
A. Riboflavin
B. Thiamine
C. Pyridoxine
D. Niacin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Riboflavin is vitamin B₂, a component of coenzymes FAD and FMN involved in redox reactions. Thiamine is B₁, niacin is B₃, pyridoxine is B₆. Riboflavin deficiency causes angular stomatitis.

Question #2
Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. A balanced diet contains all essential nutrients. 2. Malnutrition can be caused by overeating. 3. Water is not a nutrient. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A balanced diet provides all the essential nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water) in the correct proportions required for optimal health and growth. Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in a person's intake of energy and/or nutrients; therefore, overeating (leading to obesity) is a form of malnutrition. Water is an essential nutrient, crucial for hydration, transport, and chemical reactions, though it provides no calories. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The process of growing plants in a sterile nutrient medium under controlled conditions is called:
A. Tissue culture
B. Cloning
C. Genetic engineering
D. Hybridization

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Tissue culture is a technique where plant cells, tissues, or organs are grown on a synthetic nutrient medium (like MS medium) under aseptic conditions to regenerate whole plants. It exploits totipotency. It is used for micropropagation, production of disease-free plants, and conservation. Cloning produces genetically identical individuals, genetic engineering alters DNA, hybridization crosses different varieties.
