Question #2
The nucleolus within the nucleus is the site of synthesis for which cellular component?
A. mRNA
B. Lipids
C. DNA
D. rRNA and ribosome assembly

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The nucleolus is a prominent, non-membrane-bound structure within the nucleus. It is the site of active ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and the assembly of ribosomal subunits. These subunits then exit the nucleus through nuclear pores to combine in the cytoplasm and form functional ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Question #3
Consider statements about plant reproduction: 1. The anther produces pollen. 2. The ovary develops into the fruit. 3. Self-pollination increases genetic diversity. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The anther is the male reproductive part of the flower where microspores develop into pollen grains. After fertilization, the ovary wall matures and develops into the fruit, enclosing the seeds. Self-pollination involves the transfer of pollen to the stigma of the same flower or plant, resulting in offspring genetically identical to the parent, thus decreasing, not increasing, genetic diversity. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
