dangerous
polluting
eco-friendly
noisy
2.
Bacterial restriction endonucleases recognize specific nucleotide sequences called recognition sites, and are characterized by:
Stop codons only
Lipoprotein molecules
Asymmetric repetitive sequences
Palindromes of 4 to 8 pairs read in the same order on both strands in 5′ direction.' to 3'
3.
The relative density (specific gravity) of a substance is defined as:
The ratio of the density of the substance to the density of pure water at 4°C
The product of density and the acceleration due to gravity
The reciprocal of the buoyant force
The mass of the substance divided by its volume at 100°C
4.
The enzyme found in the apical body (Acrosome) of the sperm that helps it penetrate the compact envelope of the egg is:
Cholinesterase enzyme
Amylase enzyme
pepsin enzyme
Hyaluronidase enzyme
5.
Pascal's principle states that when pressure is applied to an enclosed, incompressible fluid, it is transmitted:
Only downwards towards the bottom of the vessel
With an exponential decay as distance increases
Strictly to compressible gases
Undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the containing vessel
6.
DNA polymerase always adds new nucleotides in a specific direction:
randomly
From party 5' To party 3' For new growing bar only
From party 3' to 5' only
In both directions together
7.
Okazaki Fragments formed on the die strip (5' to 3') During DNA replication they are joined by an enzyme:
Helix enzyme
Tac polymerase enzyme
Polymerase enzyme
DNA ligase
8.
Cells that carry CD8 receptors and directly eliminate cancer cells, virus-infected cells, and transplanted organs are:
Memory B cells
Mast cells
Cytotoxic T cells
Helper T cells (Th)
9.
The indicator that exhibits a yellow color in acidic medium, blue in alkaline medium, and green in neutral medium is:
Phenolphthalein
Litmus solution
Bromothymol blue
Methyl orange
10.
The protein secreted by cytotoxic T cells (Tc) that creates holes in the plasma membrane of the target cell is:
Interleukin
globulin
Perforin protein
Complement C3
11.
In prokaryotic cells (such as bacteria), a single circular DNA molecule attaches to the plasma membrane at:
Centrosome
Ribosome
One or more sites from which DNA replication begins
Nuclear envelope
12.
The direct cause of myxedema in an adult is:
Insulin deficiency
Hyperactivity of the parathyroid gland
Excessive increase in growth hormone
Severe deficiency in thyroxine secretion in adulthood
13.
The surface immune receptor characteristic of T helper cells (Th) that enables them to recognize the antigen complex with the MHC protein is:
CD3 receptor
BCR receptor
CD4 receptor
CD8 receptor
14.
When dry chlorine gas is passed over red-hot iron filings, iron(III) chloride (FeCl3) is exclusively formed rather than iron(II) chloride because:
Chlorine cannot react with the inner 3d electrons
The reaction occurs strictly in an alkaline medium
Chlorine gas is a powerful oxidizing agent that readily oxidizes any formed Fe2+ to Fe3+
Iron(II) chloride spontaneously sublimes into thin air
15.
The cells that suppress and inhibit the immune response after eliminating the microbe and secrete lymphokine proteins are:
Helper T cells (Th)
Neutrophil cells
Plasma cells
Suppressor T cells
16.
In Griffith's bacterial transformation experiment, mice died when they were injected with:
Heat-killed S bacteria alone
Sterile saline solution
A mixture of heat-killed S bacteria with live R bacteria
Live R bacteria alone
17.
Identical (monozygotic) twins arise genetically as a result of:
Fertilization of one egg by one sperm, then the resulting cell mass is divided into two parts that are identical in genetic makeup and sex.
Fertilization of two eggs by two different sperm
Fertilization of one egg by two sperm
Artificial parthenogenesis
18.
Complements are a group of plasma proteins that activate when an antibody binds to an antigen and work to:
Histamine secretion
Blood clotting
Decomposing the antigenic envelope and dissolving its contents to facilitate their ingestion by macrophages
Activate viruses
19.
The ion directly responsible for the explosion of synaptic vesicles and the release of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular synapse cleft is:
Sodium ion Na+
Chloride ion Cl−
Calcium ion Ca2+
Potassium ion K+
20.

Interleukin
Albumin
Histamine
Heparin
