The process of removing waste products from the blood using a machine is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of removing waste products from the blood using a machine is called:
A. Endoscopy
B. Dialysis
C. Transfusion
D. Bypass
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Dialysis artificially filters waste products (urea, creatinine) and excess fluid from the blood when kidneys fail, using a semipermeable membrane. Hemodialysis uses an external dialyzer, peritoneal dialysis uses the peritoneal membrane. Bypass is a surgical procedure, transfusion is blood transfer, endoscopy is visualization.

Question #1
Consider statements about biotechnology: 1. PCR amplifies DNA. 2. Gel electrophoresis separates DNA by size. 3. Restriction enzymes join DNA fragments. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a powerful molecular technique used to exponentially amplify a specific segment of DNA, creating millions of copies from a small initial sample. Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory method used to separate DNA, RNA, or protein molecules based on their size and charge by applying an electric field through a gel matrix. Restriction enzymes are molecular scissors that cut DNA at specific sequences; DNA ligase is the enzyme that joins DNA fragments together. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template is:
A. Helicase
B. RNA polymerase
C. Ligase
D. DNA polymerase

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of DNA and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand during transcription. DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA, ligase joins DNA fragments, helicase unwinds DNA.

Question #3
The part of the plant embryo that develops into the root is the:
A. Hypocotyl
B. Plumule
C. Radicle
D. Epicotyl

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The radicle is the embryonic root, emerging first during germination, and develops into the primary root system. The plumule develops into the shoot, hypocotyl is below cotyledons, epicotyl above cotyledons. The radicle grows downward (positively geotropic) to anchor and absorb water.
