POST UTME NILE UNIVERSITY 2020 Biology | Objective

Practice these randomly selected questions to test your readiness.

Question 1
A diagram of a simple harmonic motion is shown below. Identify the type of motion.
A. Simple Harmonic Motion
B. Damped Harmonic Motion
C. Forced Harmonic Motion
D. Oscillatory Motion
Question 2
A geneticist is studying the inheri\tance of a particular trait in a population of mice. The trait is determined by a \single gene with two alleles: B and b. The B allele is dominant and codes for the production of a protein that gives the mice a black coat color, while the b allele is recessive and codes for a protein that gives the mice a white coat color. What is the expected genotype and phenotype of a mouse that is homozygous recessive for the gene?
A. Genotype: BB, Phenotype: black coat color
B. Genotype: Bb, Phenotype: black coat color
C. Genotype: bb, Phenotype: white coat color
D. Genotype: Bb, Phenotype: white coat color
Question 3
The cell membrane is a selectively permeable membrane that allows certain subs\tances to pass through while restricting others. Which of the following is an example of a subs\tance that can pass through the cell membrane?
A. oxygen
B. carbon dioxide
C. water
D. sodium ions
Question 4
A diagram of the human eye is shown below. What is the function of the lens?
A. To focus light on the retina
B. To detect light intensity
C. To produce tears
D. To regulate pupil size
Question 5
The process by which plants release water vapor into the air is known as:
A. Respiration
B. Photosynthesis
C. Transpiration
D. Evaporation
Question 6
A person has a rare condition that affects the production of melanin. What is the name of the condition that this person has?
A. Albinism
B. Vitiligo
C. Melasma
D. Erythema
Question 7
A 0.5 M solution of NaOH is prepared by dissolving 40 grams of NaOH in 1000 mL of water. What is the pH of the solution?
A. 0.3
B. 1.0
C. 2.0
D. 3.0
Question 8
The process of digestion in the human body involves the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones. Which of the following enzymes plays a key role in this process?
A. Amylase
B. Lipase
C. Tryp\sin
D. Pep\sin
Question 9
In the context of cellular respiration, what is the primary function of the electron transport chain?
A. To synthesize glu\cose
B. To break down glu\cose
C. To generate ATP

Question 10
A plant's ability to undergo photosynthesis is dep\endent on the presence of which of the following?
A. Water
B. Carbon dioxide
C. Light energy
D. All of the above
Question 11
The human eye's ability to focus on objects at varying dis\tances is due to the shape of the lens changing from a convex to a concave shape. This process is known as
A. accommodation
B. pupillary reflex
C. convergence
D. vergence
Question 12
A bio\logist is studying the structure of a protein that is involved in the regulation of gene expression. The protein has a specific binding site for a particular DNA sequence. What is the likely function of this binding site?
A. The binding site is involved in the replication of DNA
B. The binding site is involved in the transcription of DNA
C. The binding site is involved in the translation of mRNA
D. The binding site is involved in the repair of DNA
