1.
STEM Molecular Genetics Question 24: Why are sticky ends produced by restriction endonucleases essential for constructing recombinant DNA plasmids?
They permanently destroy DNA ligase activity
They mutate bacterial resistance genes permanently
They have single-stranded overhangs that readily form complementary hydrogen bonds with matching foreign DNA fragments
They prevent plasmids from entering bacterial cells
2.
STEM Immunology Question 26: Which immune cells are directly responsible for secreting perforin proteins and granzymes to lyse virally infected cells and tumor cells?
Cytotoxic T-cells (CD8+ Tc) and Natural Killer (NK) cells
Plasma B-cells secreting IgG
Mast cells releasing histamine
Helper T-cells (CD4+ Th) exclusively
3.
STEM Geology Question 35: Which type of geological fault is formed when hanging-wall rocks slide downward relative to the footwall under tensional stress?
Reverse fault caused by lateral compressional stress
Normal fault resulting from crustal extensional (tensional) forces
Strike-slip fault with purely horizontal displacement
Thrust fault with an inclination angle less than 45 degrees
4.
STEM Genetics Question 15: What is the minimum number of tRNA anticodons required to translate an mRNA transcript containing 150 codons, terminating with a UAG stop codon?
149 tRNA molecules (stop codons do not code for amino acids or tRNAs)
151 tRNA molecules
150 tRNA molecules
75 tRNA molecules
5.
According to the Egyptian STEM biology syllabus, what is the exact scientific deduction regarding: Parthenogenesis in Honeybees (Apis mellifera)?
The queen honeybee produces haploid drones (males, n) from unfertilized eggs via parthenogenesis, whereas diploid worker and queen females (2n) arise from fertilized eggs
Female worker bees develop parthenogenetically without fertilization
Male drones arise from fertilized diploid zygotes (2n)
Drones produce sperm cells by meiotic division

Plasma B-cells secreting IgG

Exophthalmic goiter (Hyperthyroidism caused by excessive thyroxine secretion)
8.
STEM Biology Problem 44: A double-stranded DNA segment contains 1,200 nucleotides, of which 240 are Adenine. What is the total number of Cytosine bases and hydrogen bonds in this segment?
