Correct Option: B

The pyruvic acid transported to the mitochondrial matrix is

  1. directly used in Krebs cycle

  2. indirectly used in Krebs cycle

  3. not utilised in Krebs cycle

  4. All of the above are correct


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The pyruvic acid transported into the mitochondrial matrix is not directly used in the Krebs cycle. First it loses a molecule of CO2 as NAD+ is reduced to NADH. The remaining molecules, called acetyl group, attaches to coenzyme to form acetyl coenzyme A. The conversion of  pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA links glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. Pyruvic acid is the final product of glycolysis and acetyl CoA is the compound that enters the Krebs cycle.

Which of the following enzymes is present on the outer membrane of mitochondria?

  1. Cytochrome C reductase

  2. Adenylate kinase

  3. ATP synthetase

  2. in omega shaped ring

  3. in a ring

  4. scattered


Correct Option: B

Which of the following is/are saprophytic angiosperm/s?

  1. Eucalyptus

  2. Cuscuta

  3. Neottia

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Saprophytes are those plants which grow on dead and decaying organic matter of animals and plants. Neottia grows on humus rich soil. The plant has underground rhizome which form a cluster of roots. The roots of Neottia are associated with endotrophic mycorrhiza.

In Selaginella, the mature ligule has a prominent basal portion called

  1. sclerotium

  2. rhizomorph

  3. glossopodium

  4. protocorm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The leaves in Selaginella are ligulate, in that they bear a flap like or finger like projections at the base called the ligule.

The points at which crossing-over occurs between homologous chromosomes are termed as

  1. chiasmata

  2. chromomere

  3. chromonemata

  4. synaptonemal complex


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During pachytene stage of meiosis I, each non-sister chromatid of homologous chromosomes exchange segments. This point of contact where crossingover takes place is termed as chiasmata.
