The pulmonary veins carry: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The pulmonary veins carry:
A. Deoxygenated blood from body to heart
B. Oxygenated blood from heart to body
C. Deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs
D. Oxygenated blood from lungs to heart
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. They transport oxygen-rich blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart. In contrast, the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. All other veins carry deoxygenated blood and arteries carry oxygenated blood.

Question #1
The phenomenon of bending of plant shoot towards a unilateral light source is due to:
A. Photolysis of chlorophyll
B. Uniform distribution of auxin
C. Differential distribution of auxin, with higher concentration on shaded side
D. Inhibition of growth by light

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Phototropism (positive in shoots) is caused by the migration of auxin to the shaded side of the shoot, promoting cell elongation more on that side, causing the shoot to bend towards light. This asymmetric auxin distribution was demonstrated by Went's experiments. Auxin is sensitive to light and moves laterally. This is a growth response to directional light.

Question #2
Consider statements about plant reproduction: 1. Pollination is the transfer of pollen to the stigma. 2. Double fertilization is unique to gymnosperms. 3. Seeds develop from ovules. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Pollination is the mechanism of transferring pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed and the ovary into a fruit. Double fertilization, involving syngamy and triple fusion, is a unique characteristic of angiosperms, not gymnosperms. Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #3
In which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope reform around the chromosomes?
A. Telophase
B. Anaphase
C. Prophase
D. Metaphase

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
During telophase, the chromatids reach the poles, decondense, and the nuclear envelope reassembles around each set, forming two daughter nuclei. The spindle disappears. Prophase involves nuclear envelope breakdown, metaphase aligns chromosomes, and anaphase separates chromatids. Cytokinesis often overlaps with telophase, dividing the cytoplasm.
