Assertion: Mycoplasmas are the simplest and the smallest of all the free living prokaryotes. Reason: They are pleomorphic.

  1. A and R both are correct and R is correct explanation of A.

  2. A and R both are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.

  3. A is correct and R is incorrect.

  4. A is incorrect and R is correct.

  5. A and R both are incorrect.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mycoplasmas or mollicutes are the simplest and smallest of all the free living prokaryotes. Due to the absence of a cell wall, these organisms can change their shape and are pleomorphic.

Assertion: The condition in which two or more embryos develop from a single fertilised egg is called polyembryony. Reason: Polyembryony is more common in gymnosperms than in angiosperms.

  1. A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

  2. A and R both are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.

  3. A is correct and R is incorrect.

  4. A is incorrect and R is correct.

  5. A and R both are incorrect.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Polyembryony is the phenomenon of two or more embryos developing from a single fertilised egg. Polyembryony occurs regularly in many plants and animals. Polyembryony is more common in gymnosperms than in angiosperms.

Operon unit consists of

  1. Regulator gene
  2. Structural gene
  3. Operator gene
  4. Promoter gene
  1. Only 1 and 2

  2. Only 1, 2 and 3

  3. Only 1, 3 and 4

  4. Only 2, 3 and 4

  5. All of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The operon consists of a series of structural genes, a segment of DNA called operator, adjacent to the structural and next to the operator and an additional DNA segment called the promoter. Elsewhere on the chromosome there is a segment of DNA called regulator gene.

In which of the following is the Enter-Doudoroff pathway found?

  1. Eukaryotes

  2. Gram negative bacteria

  3. Fungi

  4. Humans

  5. Higher plants


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Enter-Doudoroff pathway is an alternative pathway of glucose metabolisms. It is found in aerobic and anaerobic prokaryotes (especially in Gram negative bacteria) but not found in eukaryotes.

Which of the following is/are examples of the amphibolic cycle?

  1. TCA cycle
  2. Calvin cycle
  3. Hatch slack cycle
  1. Only1

  2. Only 2

  3. Only 3

  4. Only 1 and 2

  5. Only 2 and 3


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The term amphibolic is used to describe a biochemical pathway that involves both catabolism and anabolism. The Tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle or Krebs Cycle) is a good example of the amphibolic pathway. The first reaction of the cycle, in which oxaloacetate (a four carbon compound) condenses with acetate (a two carbon compound) to form citrate (a six carbon compound) is typically anabolic. The next few reactions, which are intramolecular rearrangements, produce isocitrate. The following two reactions are typically catabolic. CO2 is lost in each step and succinate (a four carbon compound) is produced.

Which of the following molecules has the highest standard free energy change of hydrolysis?

  1. Adenosine triphosphate

  2. Guanidine triphosphate

  3. Uridine triphosphate

  4. Acetyl phosphate

  5. 1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Standard free energy change of hydrolysis of 1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid is 11.8 kcal mol-1.

Which of the following is pair of false fishes belonging to Phylum Mollusca?

  1. Jellyfish and Silverfish

  2. Cray fish and Cuttle fish

  3. Silverfish and Starfish

  4. Cuttlefish and Devil fish

  5. Devil fish and Starfish


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cuttlefish (Sepia) and Devil fish (Octopus) are false fishes belonging to phylum Mollusca.

Which of the following is a set of false worms?

  1. Round worm, Hook worm, Tape worm

  2. Earth worm, Round worm, Tape worm

  3. Hook worm, Silk worm, Earth worm

  4. Tape worm, Silk worm, Earth worm

  5. Round worm, Silk worm, Tape worm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tape worm (Taenia solium) is a false worm belonging to Phylum Platyhelmithes. Silk worm (Bombyx mori) is a false worm belonging to Phylum Arthropoda. Earth worm (Pheretima posthuma) is a false worm belonging to Phylum Annelida.

Which of the following is an example of aggregation pheromone?

  1. Civetone

  2. Queen substance

  3. Muskone

  4. Bombycol

  5. Gerdiol


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Aggregation pheromones help in making the group of the animal of the same species. Gerdiol is an aggregation pheromone of honey bee.

Which of the following pairs represent synergesic hormones?

  1. FSH and LH

  1. Only 1

  2. Only 2

  3. Only 3

  4. Only 1 and 2

  5. Only 2 and 3


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When two hormones work together these are known as synergesic hormone. Ex. – FSH and LH.

  2. Only 1 and 2

  3. Only 2 and 3

  4. Only 2 and 4

Which of the following matches is incorrect?

  1. Gull’s disease : Myxoedema

  2. Addison-Biermer’s disease : Pernicious anemia

  3. Hodgkin’s disease : Lymphoma

  4. Riggs' disease : Pyorrhoea

  5. Koch’s disease : Leprosy


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Koch’s disease is also known as Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially fatal contagious disease that can affect almost any part of the body but is mainly an infection of the lungs. It is caused by a bacterial microorganism, the tubercle bacillus or Mycobacterium tuberculosis whereas Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a chronic infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis.

Which of the following pairs of iron complexes and their function in living organisms is not correctly matched?

  1. Catalase - H2O2 metabolism

  2. Ferritin - Plasma Fe transport

  3. Cytochrome c - Electron transport

  4. Hemoglobin - Blood O2 transport

  5. Myoglobin - Muscle O2 storage


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Within cells, iron is stored in a protein complex as ferritin. Ferritin is a intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. Iron circulates in plasma bound to transferrin (which can bind one or two iron molecules).
