The process that converts mRNA code into a sequence of amino acids is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process that converts mRNA code into a sequence of amino acids is:
A. Replication
B. Translocation
C. Translation
D. Transcription
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Translation occurs at ribosomes, where tRNA anticodons recognize mRNA codons and add the corresponding amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain. Replication duplicates DNA, transcription synthesizes mRNA from DNA, translocation is movement of chromosomes or protein transport.

Question #2
The 'Hormone Adiponectin' is a protein hormone secreted exclusively by adipose (fat) tissue. Unlike most other adipokines, its levels are inversely related to body fat. Its primary functions include:
A. Promoting insulin resistance and inflammation
B. Enhancing insulin sensitivity, promoting fatty acid oxidation, and having anti-inflammatory effects
C. Stimulating appetite
D. Inhibiting glucose uptake

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Adiponectin is an abundant protein hormone secreted by adipose tissue. Uniquely, its plasma levels are inversely correlated with body fat percentage; obese individuals have lower levels. Its primary functions are highly beneficial for metabolic health: it enhances insulin sensitivity in the liver and muscles, promotes the oxidation of fatty acids (reducing fat accumulation), inhibits glucose production by the liver, and has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects on the blood vessels. Low levels of adiponectin are associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Question #3
Which of the following is an example of an X-linked recessive disorder?
A. Down syndrome
B. Sickle cell anemia
C. Hemophilia
D. Cystic fibrosis

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Hemophilia A and B are X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in genes for clotting factor VIII or IX on the X chromosome. It predominantly affects males, while females are usually carriers. Down syndrome is an autosomal aneuploidy, cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia are autosomal recessive. X-linked disorders follow a characteristic pattern of inheritance.
