The type of tissue that covers body surfaces and lines cavities is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of tissue that covers body surfaces and lines cavities is:
A. Muscle tissue
B. Connective tissue
C. Epithelial tissue
D. Nervous tissue
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Epithelial tissue forms sheets covering external surfaces (skin) and lining internal organs and cavities. It functions in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. Connective tissue supports and binds, muscle contracts, nervous transmits impulses. Epithelial cells are tightly packed with little extracellular matrix.

Question #1
In human nutrition, the 'Glycemic Index' (GI) of a food measures:
A. The caloric value of the food
B. The total carbohydrate content per 100 grams
C. The rate at which the food raises blood glucose levels after consumption
D. The amount of dietary fiber present in the food

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a numerical scale (from 0 to 100) that measures how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose levels compared to a reference food (usually pure glucose or white bread). Foods with a high GI (like white bread, sugary drinks) cause a rapid spike in blood sugar, while low GI foods (like whole grains, legumes) cause a slower, more gradual rise. It does not measure total carbohydrate amount.

Question #2
A mutation that involves the change of a single nucleotide base in the DNA sequence is called a:
A. Chromosomal deletion
B. Point mutation
C. Inversion
D. Frameshift mutation

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A point mutation is a genetic mutation where a single nucleotide base is changed, inserted, or deleted from a sequence of DNA or RNA. The classic example is sickle cell anemia, caused by a single point mutation in the beta-globin gene, where adenine is replaced by thymine, changing the amino acid from glutamic acid to valine.

Question #3
The enzyme that catalyzes the removal of the RNA primer during DNA replication is:
A. Helicase
B. Ligase
C. DNA polymerase I
D. DNA polymerase III

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
DNA polymerase I has 5' to 3' exonuclease activity to remove RNA primers and fill gaps with DNA. In eukaryotes, RNase H removes primers.
