The pulmonary veins carry: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The pulmonary veins carry:
A. Oxygenated blood from heart to body
B. Deoxygenated blood from body to heart
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
During which phase of the cell cycle does the centrosome duplicate?
A. G2 phase
B. G1 phase
C. S phase
D. M phase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The centrosome, which contains two centrioles, duplicates during the S phase of the cell cycle, concurrent with DNA replication. This ensures that by the time the cell enters mitosis, it has two fully formed centrosomes to organize the mitotic spindle. G1 is for growth, G2 is for preparation for M phase, and M phase is for actual division.

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

Correct Answer: Option D


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
In a chloroplast, the flattened membranous sacs arranged in stacks are called?
A. Grana
B. Thylakoids
C. Stroma
D. Matrix

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In a chloroplast, the thylakoids are flattened membranous sacs that are arranged in stacks like coins, which are called grana (singular: granum). The stroma is the fluid-filled matrix surrounding the thylakoids. The thylakoid membranes contain the pigments necessary for the light reactions of photosynthesis.
