Question #1
Which of the following statements about genetics is correct?
A. Phenotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism.
B. Homozygous individuals have two different alleles for a trait.
C. Mendel’s law of segregation states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation.
D. A monohybrid cross gives a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Mendel’s first law (segregation) states that the two alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation. Homozygous individuals have identical alleles; phenotype is observable trait; a monohybrid ratio is 3:1.

Question #2
The technique used to visualize and separate DNA fragments based on size is:
A. Gel electrophoresis
B. Centrifugation
C. PCR
D. Microscopy

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Agarose gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments by size as they move through the gel under an electric field; smaller fragments migrate faster. DNA is stained with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV light. PCR amplifies DNA, centrifugation separates by density, microscopy provides magnified images. Gel electrophoresis is essential in molecular biology and forensics.

Question #3
The type of algae that is used as a dietary supplement and is a rich source of protein is:
A. Sargassum
B. Polysiphonia
C. Gelidium
D. Chlorella

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Chlorella and Spirulina (a cyanobacterium) are used as single-cell proteins and health supplements due to their high protein content (up to 60%) and essential nutrients. Gelidium is used for agar, Sargassum is a brown alga, Polysiphonia a red alga. Chlorella is a unicellular green alga.
