Which of the following is present in bacterial cells, but absent in animal cells?

  1. Cytoplasm

  2. Plasma membrane

  3. Cell membrane

  4. Cell wall


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cell wall and cell membrane are both present in bacterial cells, while animal cells contain only cell membrane.

The dark spot-like structure inside the nucleus of a cell that helps in making ribosomes is called

  1. nucleoplasm

  2. nucleoid

  3. nucleoside

  4. nucleolus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The dark spot-like structure that helps in making ribosomes is called nucleolus and it is present in the nucleus.

Which of the following is the set of the smallest and the largest cells, respectively?

  1. Nerve cell, ostrich egg

  2. Bacterial cell, ostrich egg

  3. Nerve cell, amoeba

  4. White blood cells, ostrich egg


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bacterial cell and ostrich egg are the smallest and the largest cells, respectively.

Which of the following terms describes the undefined region of the nucleus in prokaryotes?

  1. Nucleoid

  2. Nuclear wall

  3. DNA

  4. RNA


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The undefined region of the nucleus in prokaryotes is termed as nucleoid.

What is the energy currency of the cell?

  1. Proteins

  2. DNA

  3. Glucose

  4. ATP


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

ATP is the energy currency of the cell. 

What happens in anaphase stage?

  1. Chromatids start moving towards the opposite poles.

  2. Chromatids start moving towards the equatorial line.

  3. Chromatids condense to form chromosomes.

  4. Crossing over takes place between the homologous chromosomes.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In anaphase stage, chromatids start moving towards the opposite poles, while the chromosomes are drawn to each side of the cell. The non-kinetochore spindle fibres push against each other, in a ratcheting action, that stretches the cell into an oval. 

Why do golgi bodies have connections with the membranes of ER?

  1. To prevent the membranes from mechanical injury

  2. To store and dispatch the materials synthesised by ER

  3. To form lysosomes in ER

  4. To transport ribosomes into ER


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The main function of golgi body is to store and dispatch the materials synthesised by ER.

The characteristic feature of meiosis is that

  1. daughter cells have the same genetic information as the parent cell

  2. centromeres are divided at anaphase II

  3. homologous chromosomes do not cross over

  4. daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell (2n – n)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The characteristic feature of meiosis is that the daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell (2n – n).

Which of the following pairs of 'type of cell : cell structure present in it' is correct?

  1. Animal cell : Plastids

  2. Plant cell : Mitochondria

  3. Animal cell : Cell wall

  4. Plant cell : Centrosomes


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As plastids and cell wall are present only in plants, but not in animals and centrosomes are present in animal cells, so option 2 is correct.

Which of the following statements regarding chloroplast is false?

  1. It is a single membranous structure.

  2. It is absent in animal cells.

  3. It conducts photosynthesis.

  4. It carries chlorophyll.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chloroplast is a double membranous organelle having an outer membrane as well as an inner membrane.
