Pinus seed originates in the

  1. capsule

  2. microsporophyll

  3. microsporangia

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Seed is the result of fertilization and consequent enlargement of the ovule. Two ovule or megasporangium are present on the adaxial side of ovuliferous scale. The ovuliferous scale and bracts constitute the megasporophyll. There are about 80-90 megasporophylls in a single female cone of Pinus.

The plasma membrane is composed of

  1. protein

  2. fat

Explanation:

Plasma membrane is composed of 'lipid and protein'. According to 'Sandwich model' monomolecular two protein layer sandwiching a bimolecular lipid layer.

Extra nuclear DNA is present in

  1. ribosomes

  2. chloroplast

  3. golgi body

  4. E.R.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Extrachromosomal or extranuclear  DNA is any DNA that is found outside of the nucleus of a cell. It is present in chloroplast 

Maximum sugarcane in India is grown in

  1. Madhya Pradesh

  2. Bihar

  3. Punjab

  4. Uttar Pradesh

Main air pollutant is

  1. CO

  2. CO2

  3. S

  4. N2


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the main pollutant of atmosphere. The maximum emission of CO occurs due to burning of petrol. In human beings the CO causes headache and difficulty in breathing. The haemoglobin has greater affinity for CO than oxygen.
