Sample CNFTF Forestry Technician Concours Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the CNFTF Forestry Technician Concours exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 48+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1During DNA replication, which base is added to a newly forming strand opposite adenine on the template strand?
A.Thymine
B.Cytosine
C.Guanine
D.Uracil
Explanation: In double-stranded DNA, adenine pairs with thymine through complementary base pairing. Uracil replaces thymine in RNA, not in a newly synthesized DNA strand.
2After one round of semiconservative DNA replication, what does each resulting double helix contain?
A.Only half of each chromosome is copied before cell division
B.Each daughter DNA molecule contains one parental strand and one newly synthesized strand
C.One daughter cell receives DNA while the other receives only RNA
D.The parental molecule remains intact and a completely separate copy is assembled
Explanation: The two parental DNA strands separate and each serves as a template for a new complementary strand. Each resulting double helix therefore conserves one strand from the original molecule.
3Which molecule carries a transcribed genetic message from DNA to a ribosome?
A.Transfer RNA
B.Ribosomal RNA
C.Messenger RNA
D.DNA polymerase
Explanation: Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is produced from a DNA template during transcription and carries codons to a ribosome. Transfer RNA brings amino acids, while ribosomal RNA forms part of the ribosome.
4At which cell structure are the codons of messenger RNA translated into an amino-acid sequence?
A.Lysosome
B.Centriole
C.Golgi vesicle
D.Ribosome
Explanation: A ribosome reads mRNA codons and joins amino acids in the specified order to form a polypeptide. The other structures have roles in digestion, cell division organization, or intracellular transport rather than translation.
5A diploid plant cell has 24 chromosomes before mitosis. How many chromosomes should each normal daughter cell contain after mitosis and cytokinesis?
A.24
B.12
C.48
D.6
Explanation: Mitosis normally preserves chromosome number, producing daughter cells genetically equivalent in ploidy to the parent cell. DNA is replicated before mitosis, but sister chromatids separate so each daughter receives 24 chromosomes.
6What is the principal effect of meiosis on chromosome number when diploid cells produce gametes?
A.It doubles the chromosome number without separating homologues
B.It reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid
C.It preserves two identical diploid daughter cells
D.It removes all chromosomes inherited from one parent
Explanation: Meiosis separates homologous chromosomes and ultimately produces haploid cells from a diploid starting cell. Fertilization can then combine two haploid gametes and restore the diploid number.
7For a single gene with complete dominance, two heterozygous parents are crossed: Aa × Aa. What is the probability that an offspring has the recessive phenotype?
A.1/2
B.3/4
C.1/4
D.1
Explanation: The cross produces genotypes AA, Aa, Aa, and aa in a 1:2:1 ratio. Only aa expresses the recessive phenotype under complete dominance, so the probability is one out of four.
8A student compares an organism's alleles with the trait those alleles help produce. Which distinction is correct?
A.Genotype is an acquired trait, while phenotype is always inherited unchanged
B.Genotype describes only appearance, while phenotype describes only DNA sequence
C.Genotype and phenotype are two names for the same concept
D.Genotype is an organism's allele combination, while phenotype is an observable or measurable trait
Explanation: A genotype describes the alleles carried for a gene or set of genes. A phenotype is the expressed characteristic, which can reflect both genotype and environmental influence.
9What does the fusion of two haploid gametes accomplish during fertilization?
A.It restores the diploid chromosome number in the zygote
B.It produces four genetically distinct haploid cells
C.It halves the chromosome number of the embryo
D.It duplicates the chromosomes without combining genetic material
Explanation: Each gamete contributes one haploid set of chromosomes. Their fusion creates a diploid zygote containing genetic material from both parents.
10Which function is performed by the placenta during human pregnancy?
A.It produces the mother's egg cells throughout pregnancy
B.It supports exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes between maternal and fetal circulations
C.It directly mixes all maternal and fetal blood into one circulation
D.It replaces the fetal genome with maternal DNA
Explanation: The placenta provides an exchange interface through which oxygen and nutrients reach the fetus and carbon dioxide and other wastes leave it. Maternal and fetal blood normally remain in separate circulatory pathways across this interface.

About the CNFTF Forestry Technician Concours Exam

The Concours national d'entrée au CNFTF pour la formation au métier de Technicien Forestier — session 2026 is the national entrance competition organized by Madagascar's MEDD for 30 places at CNFTF Angavokely. Its written admissibility phase tests Terminale-level SVT, French, mathematics, and general knowledge plus psychotechnical skills; admissible candidates then complete practical field assessments. Successful entrants follow two years of residential training leading to the national BTS de Technicien Forestier. This independent English-language MCQ bank supports study of the published written scope, but it is not an official translation, official-format simulation, psychometric test, or substitute for French written work and field performance.

Exam sponsor: Ministère de l'Environnement et du Développement Durable (MEDD) / Centre National de Formation de Techniciens Forestiers (CNFTF). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Written admissibility on 25 March 2026: SVT (2 hours, coefficient 2), French (2 hours, coefficient 2), mathematics (2 hours, coefficient 1), and general knowledge plus psychotechnical testing (1 hour, coefficient 1). Candidates declared admissible proceed to practical field admission at CNFTF Angavokely on 24 April 2026. This 48-item English MCQ bank is an independent study adaptation, not an official translation, psychometric instrument, practical assessment, or format simulation.

Time Limit

7 hours of written testing; practical field phase duration not published

Passing Score

No minimum overall average published; 00/20 on any written paper is eliminatory, and places are awarded competitively

CNFTF Forestry Technician Concours: Suggested Study Strategy

1Use the official Terminale curriculum to review genetics, human reproduction, nervous and immune physiology, and geological cross-sections for the SVT paper.
2Practice French summary, commentary, problematique formation, argument structure, logical connectors, register, and morphosyntax in addition to MCQs.
3Show units and intermediate steps in mathematics, especially for percentages, scale conversion, area, trigonometry, and basic statistics.
4For psychotechnical study, identify the rule or constraint before calculating or eliminating options; these MCQs do not reproduce an official psychometric instrument.
5Prepare separately for the practical field phase because a written MCQ bank cannot demonstrate field performance or physical fitness.
