The structure that connects the bones and allows movement is:
A. Ligament
B. Tendon
C. Cartilage
D. Joint
Answer: Option D

Question #1
The Hardy-Weinberg principle describes:
A. The origin of life
B. The mechanism of natural selection
C. The genetic equilibrium in a non-evolving population
D. The process of speciation

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences (like mutation, selection, gene flow, genetic drift, and non-random mating). It describes a theoretical, non-evolving population (genetic equilibrium) and provides a mathematical baseline (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1) to measure evolutionary change.

Thyroxine hormone is produced by the:
A. Adrenal gland
B. Thyroid gland
C. Parathyroid gland
D. Pituitary gland

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Thyroxine (T₄) and triiodothyronine (T₃) are synthesized by thyroid follicular cells. They regulate basal metabolic rate, growth, and development. Iodine is essential for their synthesis.

Question #3
The technique used to separate DNA fragments based on size is:
A. Cloning
B. DNA sequencing
C. Gel electrophoresis
D. PCR

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Agarose gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments by size under an electric field; smaller fragments migrate faster. PCR amplifies DNA, sequencing determines base order, cloning produces copies.
