Which of the following is NOT a type of biological molecule?

  1. Carbohydrates

  2. Lipids

  3. Proteins

  4. Minerals


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Minerals are not considered biological molecules because they are not produced by living organisms.

The building blocks of proteins are called:

  1. Amino acids

  2. Nucleotides

  3. Fatty acids

  4. Sugars


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds.

The primary structure of a protein refers to:

  1. The sequence of amino acids in the protein

  2. The three-dimensional structure of the protein

  3. The interactions between the protein and other molecules

  4. The function of the protein


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids that make up the protein.

Which of the following is NOT a type of RNA molecule?

  1. Messenger RNA (mRNA)

  2. Transfer RNA (tRNA)

  3. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

  4. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

DNA is not a type of RNA molecule. It is a different type of nucleic acid that stores genetic information.

The process by which DNA is copied into RNA is called:

  1. Replication

  2. Transcription

  3. Translation

  4. Mutation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied into RNA.

The process by which RNA is converted into protein is called:

  1. Replication

  2. Transcription

  3. Translation

  4. Mutation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Translation is the process by which RNA is converted into protein.

Which of the following is NOT a type of mutation?

  1. Substitution

  2. Deletion

  3. Insertion

  4. Transversion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Transversion is not a type of mutation. It is a type of genetic variation that occurs when one purine base is replaced by another purine base, or one pyrimidine base is replaced by another pyrimidine base.

Which of the following is NOT a type of genetic recombination?

  1. Crossing over

  2. Gene conversion

  3. Transposition

  4. Replication


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Replication is not a type of genetic recombination. It is the process by which DNA is copied.

Which of the following is NOT a type of gene regulation?

  1. Transcriptional regulation

  2. Translational regulation

  3. Post-translational regulation

  4. DNA methylation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

DNA methylation is not a type of gene regulation. It is a type of epigenetic modification that can affect gene expression.

Which of the following is NOT a type of cell signaling?

  1. Autocrine signaling

  2. Paracrine signaling

  3. Endocrine signaling

  4. Synaptic signaling


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Synaptic signaling is not a type of cell signaling. It is a type of communication between neurons.

Which of the following is NOT a type of cellular transport?

  1. Active transport

  2. Passive transport

  3. Endocytosis

  4. Exocytosis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Endocytosis is not a type of cellular transport. It is a process by which cells take in material from their surroundings.

Which of the following is NOT a type of cell division?

  1. Mitosis

  2. Meiosis

  3. Binary fission

  4. Budding


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Budding is not a type of cell division. It is a process by which new cells are formed from existing cells.

Which of the following is NOT a type of tissue?

  1. Epithelial tissue

  2. Connective tissue

  3. Muscle tissue

  4. Nervous tissue


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nervous tissue is not a type of tissue. It is a type of organ system.

Which of the following is NOT a type of organ system?

  1. Digestive system

  2. Respiratory system

  3. Circulatory system

  4. Nervous system


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nervous system is not a type of organ system. It is a type of tissue.

Which of the following is NOT a type of organism?

  1. Bacteria

  2. Archaea

  3. Eukarya

  4. Virus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Virus is not a type of organism. It is a type of infectious agent.
