The release of ovum from the ovary is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The release of ovum from the ovary is called:
A. Menstruation
B. Implantation
C. Fertilization
D. Ovulation
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ovulation is the process where a mature ovum (secondary oocyte) is released from the Graafian follicle of the ovary, typically around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, triggered by the LH surge. The ovum is captured by the fimbriae of the fallopian tube. Fertilization is fusion with sperm, menstruation is shedding of the uterine lining, implantation is embedding of the blastocyst.

Question #1
Consider statements about angiosperms: 1. They have enclosed seeds. 2. They exhibit double fertilization. 3. All angiosperms are trees. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Angiosperms are flowering plants where seeds are enclosed within a mature ovary (fruit). They are characterized by double fertilization, where one male gamete fuses with the egg and the other with the secondary nucleus. They exhibit immense diversity in habit, ranging from tiny aquatic Wolffia to massive trees, so not all are trees. Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The heart pumps blood throughout the body. 2. The lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. 3. The kidneys produce urine. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The heart is a muscular pump that circulates blood through the cardiovascular system, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste. The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system, where gas exchange occurs: oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. The kidneys are the primary excretory organs, filtering blood to remove metabolic waste, excess water, and ions, producing urine. All statements are correct.

Question #3
In humans, the dental formula of permanent teeth is:
A. 2123/2123
B. 2122/2122
C. 2133/2133
D. 2102/2102

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The adult human dental formula is 2123/2123 (incisors 2, canines 1, premolars 2, molars 3) per quadrant, totaling 32 permanent teeth. Deciduous teeth formula is 2102/2102 (20 teeth). The formula represents half of the upper jaw over half of the lower jaw. Wisdom teeth (third molars) may be absent in some individuals.
