Anticoagulant substance in endospore of bacteria is found in 

  1. Exosporium and spore coat

  2. Spore coat and cortex

  3. Cortex and core wall

  4. Cortex and cytoplasm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Endospore of bacteria is mainly covered with three extra layers: 

Exosporium, spore coat and cortex.
Exosporium and spore coat are made of proteins, whereas cortex is made of modified peptidoglycans. Peptidoglycans are coagulants.
Proteins are anticoagulants hence found in exosporium and spore coat.
So the correct answer is ' Exosporium and spore coat'. 

The group showing maximum nutritional diversity is

  1. Monera

  2. Plantae

  3. Fungi

  4. Algae


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The kingdom monera is comprised of two groups as archaebacteria and eubacteria. There is diverse range of organisms which are placed under this kingdom. There are prokaryotic bacteria which possess the heterotrophic mode of nutrition in which the digested food material is directly engulfed by the cell. The cyanobacteria are autotrophic and can prepare their food through photosynthesis. There are some chemotrophs which use the organic and inorganic compounds as the source of energy. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Which unicellular organism of the following does not possess the organised nucleus?

  1. Bacteria

  2. Amoeba

  3. Chlamydomonas

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The kingdom monera is comprised of the prokaryotic organisms. The kingdom is divided into two groups, archaebacteria and eubacteria. They are unicellular or multicellular forming filamentous structures. They do not have well-developed cell organelles such as the nuclear membrane, cell wall, nucleus, mitochondria, etc. Bacteria is a prokaryote while Amoeba and Chlamydomonas are eukaryotes. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Bacteria are included in which of the following kingdoms?

  1. Protista

  2. Plantae

  3. Monera

  4. Animalia


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Whittaker has divided the living world into different kingdoms. According to him, all living organisms are classified into 5 different kingdoms. Out of these 5, all microscopic minute bacteria are included in the kingdom monera. They constitute unicellular prokaryotic organisms.

So, option C "Monera" is the correct answer.

Which among the following organisms belong to kingdom Monera?

  1. Lactobacilli

  2. Anabena

  3. Bacteria

  4. All of the above

On what basis plasmids can be separated?

  1. Their size

  2. Their charge

  3. Their A-T:G-C compositiion

  4. Both (A) and (B)

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plasmid DNA can be analysed using agarose gel electrophoresis. When sample of DNA is loaded, onto the agarose gel and electric field is applied, it results in separation of DNA molecules according to their size and shape. On agarose gel, small molecules of DNA are able to pass easily in the electric field. DNA possesses strong negative charge which helps in its movement towards positive electrode in the electrophoresis apparatus. Along with size and shape of DNA molecule, electrophoresis buffer type also determines the rate of migration of DNA molecule.

Ray fungi are also called as Actinomycetes. They form a mycelium consisting of narrow hyphae. They show characteristics of both fungi and bacteria. They form the normal part of the mouth flora in the human. They produce many antibiotics like streptomycin, actinomycin and chloromycin. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Actinomycetes.'

Which of the following differentiates gram positive and gram negative bacteria?

  1. A liposaccharide, outer covering with a small peptidoglycan component in the cell wall

  2. A small peptidoglycan, component covering a large liposaccharide base

  3. A large peptidoglycan, component in the cell wall

  4. A cell wall composed of liposaccharide and chitin

  5. A cell wall composed of chitin over peptidoglycan


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The gram-negative cell wall is characterized by presence of outer membrane, a thinner peptidoglycan layer and extensive periplasmic space surrounding the peptidoglycan. The uppermost layer of the outer membrane has lipopolysaccharide while the innermost layer is a typical lipid layer. Gram positive cells are characterized by presence of single thick layer of cell wall which is made up of peptidogycan, teichoic acid and lipoteichoic acid. They lack outer membrane and porin and have narrow periplasmic space. Correct answer is C.
