1Which organelle in eukaryotic cells is responsible for synthesizing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation along the inner cristae membrane?

A.Golgi apparatus

B.Endoplasmic reticulum

C.Lysosome

D.Mitochondrion

Explanation: Mitochondria are the primary sites of aerobic cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells. The electron transport chain and ATP synthase complexes are located on the extensively folded inner mitochondrial membrane (cristae), generating ATP via chemiosmosis.

2Under the microscope, a dividing cell shows former sister chromatids, now single chromosomes, being pulled by spindle fibres towards opposite poles. Which phase of mitosis is this?

A.Prophase

B.Metaphase

C.Anaphase

D.Telophase

Explanation: During anaphase, the cohesin proteins holding sister chromatids together are cleaved, allowing the mitotic spindle fibers to pull the separated sister chromatids (now individual daughter chromosomes) toward opposite poles of the cell.

3What is the net yield of ATP and NADH molecules produced per molecule of glucose during cytoplasmic glycolysis?

A.2 ATP and 2 NADH

B.4 ATP and 2 NADH

C.2 ATP and 4 NADH

D.36 ATP and 10 NADH

Explanation: Glycolysis consumes 2 ATP molecules during its preparatory phase and generates 4 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules during its payoff phase, resulting in a net yield of 2 ATP and 2 NADH per glucose molecule converted into 2 pyruvate.

4Which enzyme catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis?

A.ATP synthase

B.Phosphofructokinase

C.DNA polymerase

D.RuBisCO

Explanation: RuBisCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the primary carboxylating enzyme of the stroma in chloroplasts. It attaches CO₂ to the five-carbon acceptor RuBP, producing an unstable six-carbon intermediate that immediately splits into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate.

5In a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous pea plants with yellow seeds (genotype Yy, where yellow Y is dominant over green y), what is the expected phenotypic ratio among their offspring?

A.1 yellow : 1 green

B.4 yellow : 0 green

C.1 : 2 : 1

D.3 yellow : 1 green

Explanation: According to Mendel's law of segregation, crossing Yy × Yy yields genotypic proportions of 1 YY : 2 Yy : 1 yy. Because YY and Yy both display the dominant yellow seed phenotype (3/4) and only yy displays the green phenotype (1/4), the phenotypic ratio is 3 yellow : 1 green.

6If a man with blood group A (genotype I^A i) and a woman with blood group B (genotype I^B i) have children, which blood groups are possible among their offspring?

A.Only blood groups A and B, each with 50% probability

B.Only blood groups A, B and AB, but never O

C.Blood groups A, B, AB and O, each with 25% probability

D.Only blood groups AB and O, each with 50% probability

Explanation: The father produces gametes with alleles I^A and i; the mother produces gametes with alleles I^B and i. Combining them gives four equally probable genotypes: I^A I^B (type AB, 25%), I^A i (type A, 25%), I^B i (type B, 25%), and ii (type O, 25%).

7Which nitrogenous base is present in RNA molecules but absent in standard DNA double-helix molecules?

A.Adenine

B.Guanine

C.Uracil

D.Thymine

Explanation: In RNA, the pyrimidine base uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) found in DNA, forming complementary hydrogen bonds with adenine (A) during transcription and translation.

8What is the start codon in mRNA that initiates translation in eukaryotic ribosomes, and which amino acid does it encode?

A.UAA, encoding Valine

B.UAG, encoding Alanine

C.AUG, encoding Methionine

D.UGA, encoding Glycine

Explanation: The triplet codon AUG serves as the universal translation start signal on mRNA, directing the initiator tRNA carrying methionine to bind at the ribosomal P site.

9In humans, red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. If a carrier female (X^B X^b) and a normal male (X^B Y) have sons, what is the probability that a son will be color-blind?

A.0%

B.25%

C.50%

D.100%

Explanation: Sons receive their single X chromosome from their mother and their Y chromosome from their father. The mother transmits X^B to 50% of her sons (normal vision) and X^b to 50% of her sons (color-blind). Therefore, the probability for any son is 50%.

10Which chamber of the human heart pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta to supply the systemic circulation of the body?

A.Right atrium

B.Right ventricle

C.Left atrium

D.Left ventricle

Explanation: The left ventricle possesses the thickest muscular myocardium of the heart; upon contraction, it ejects oxygenated blood through the aortic semilunar valve into the ascending aorta at high pressure for systemic distribution.

About the State Medical University of Turkmenistan Entrance Exams Exam

Independent practice for the entrance examinations to the Myrat Garryyev State Medical University of Turkmenistan (Myrat Garryýew adyndaky Türkmenistanyň Döwlet lukmançylyk uniwersiteti). Admission requires oral entrance examinations in biology, chemistry, and History of Turkmenistan in the state language (Turkmen). This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation: it is not an official translation, does not simulate the oral examinations, and cannot substitute for physical-fitness preparation or practical study.

Exam sponsor: Myrat Garryýew adyndaky Türkmenistanyň Döwlet lukmançylyk uniwersiteti / State Admissions Commission. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Three oral subject examinations — biology, chemistry and History of Turkmenistan — held at the university in Ashgabat in the state language (Turkmen) and based on the secondary-school curricula, on dates set for each velaýat. A candidate who fails one subject is not admitted to the later examinations. Applicants for military medicine also complete physical-fitness norms (100 m and 3 km runs, pull-ups), and applicants are introduced to the work of a pathology department.
