Explanation: The nasal cavity does not significantly change the pH of the air we breathe.

Correct answer: pH adjustment
  • A. Abdominal cavity
  • B. Thoracic cavity
  • C. Pelvic cavity
  • D. Pleural cavity

Explanation: The cavity bounded by the ribs and diaphragm is called the thoracic cavity, or chest cavity.

Correct answer: Thoracic cavity
  • A. Indicted
  • B. Battered
  • C. Vindicated
  • D. Destitute

Explanation: The best answer is C. "Vindicated" means "cleared of suspicion or doubt" and "authenticated" means "proved to be genuine." The rest of the…

Correct answer: Vindicated
  • A. and
  • B. His
  • C. lately
  • D. I

Explanation: The error in the sentence is in option (D) "I." It should be corrected to "me" to maintain correct grammar and syntax.

Correct answer: I
  • A. Only conclusion I follows
  • B. Only conclusion II follows
  • C. Either I or II follows
  • D. Neither I nor II follows
  • E. Both I and II follow

Explanation: According to the statement, funding is necessary to improve quality and Pakistan is allocating funds to education.

Correct answer: Only conclusion I follows
  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 3
  • D. 4

Explanation: Multiplying the digits of each number gives: 9×7×2=126; 9×3×8=216; 8×9×5=360; 8×6×3=144; 6×9×2=108; 5×3×6=90.

Correct answer: 4

  • B. Statement II is the cause, and statement I is its effect
  • C. Both the statements I and II are independent causes
  • D. Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes

Explanation: "Closing the schools for a week and the parents withdrawing their wards from the local schools are independent issues", which must have…

Correct answer: Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes
  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. C
  • D. D

Explanation: Option A correctly identifies X as amino acid, Y as tRNA and Z as mRNA. X (Amino Acid): The building blocks of proteins.

Correct answer: A
  • A. mRNA from a DNA template
  • B. A polypeptide from mRNA template
  • C. mRNA from the molecules of tRNA
  • D. A strand of DNA from mRNA template

Explanation: RNA polymerase does not synthesize DNA from an mRNA template; that process is called reverse transcription and is carried out by the…

Correct answer: mRNA from a DNA template
  • A. Amino acids → Proteins → DNA
  • B. DNA → Carbohydrates → Proteins
  • C. DNA → RNA → Proteins
  • D. DNA → RNA → Carbohydrates

Explanation: This is the correct option. The central dogma of molecular genetics outlines the unidirectional flow of genetic information from DNA to…

Correct answer: DNA → RNA → Proteins
