The Avery-Macleod-McCarty experiment demonstrated that

  1. RNA is involved in transduction in bacteria

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 The Avery-Macleod-McCarty experiment was carried out by three scientists to show that transformation in bacteria is caused by taking up free DNA by bacteria either naturally or artificially in lab.

Which of the following statements is true about cilia and microvilli?

Resting spore of many fungi which survive in unfavourable conditions is called

  1. sporangium

  2. chlamydospore

  3. sporangiophore

  4. synangium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Chlamydospore is the resting stage of spores formed by nuclear fusion of haploid cells in fungi also known as zygospore.

Cavities formed in plant cells by autolysis of glandular cells are called

  1. schizogenous cavities

  2. lysigenous cavities

  3. schizolysigenous cavities

  4. intercellular spaces


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Lysigenous cavities are formed by the autolysis or degeneration of glandular cells, so that secretions from cells are poured into the space formed.
