- Qstn #60Which of the following components provides sticky character to the bacterial cells ?
(1) Gylcocalyx
(2) Cell wall
(3) Nuclear membrane
(4) Plasma membranedigAnsr: 1Ans : (1)
Sol. Glycocalyx is the outer most part of bacterial envelope which is either composed of slimy layer (Dextrin
sugar) or capsule form
- Qstn #61An example of colonial alga is :
(1) Spirogyra
(2) Chlorella
(3) Volvox
(4) UlothrixdigAnsr: 3Ans : (3)
Sol. Volvox forms colony which rolls over water - colony of volvox is termed coenobium.
- Qstn #62A dioecious flowering plant prevents both :
(1) Cleistogamy and xenogamy
(2) Autogamy and xenogamy
(3) Autogamy and geitonogamy
(4) Geitonogamy and xenogamydigAnsr: 3Ans : (3)
Sol. Dioecious flowing plant means sex organs are present on separate plants which will prevent both autogamy
(within same flower and geitonogamy (between two different flower of same plant)
- Qstn #63Plants which produce characteristic pneumatophores and show vivipary belong to :
(1) Hydrophytes
(2) Mesophytes
(3) Halophytes
(4) PsammophytesdigAnsr: 3Ans : (3)
Sol. Halophytes grows in saline conditions so show pheumatophores of vivipary

(3) Collenchyma
(4) PhellemdigAnsr: 4Ans : (4)
Sol. Phellem is made up of dead cells
- Qstn #66Root hairs develop from the region of :
(1) Meristematic activity
(2) Maturation
(3) Elongation
(4) Root capdigAnsr: 2Ans : (2)
Sol. Root hair develop from region of maturation
- Qstn #67Which of the following options best represents the
enzyme composition of pancreatic juice ?
(1) Lipase, amylase, trypsinogen, procarboxypeptidase
(2) Amylase, peptidase, trypsinogen, rennin
(3) Amylase, pepsin, trypsinogen, maltase
(4) Peptidase, amylase, pepsin, rennindigAnsr: 1Ans : (1)
Sol. Pancreas produces pancreatic juice which is released in duodenum along with bile juice & contains enzymes
as such lipase, amylase trypsinogen & procarboxypeptidase.
- Qstn #68Zygotic meiosis is characteristic of :
(1) Chlamydomonas
(2) Marchentia
(3) Fucus
(4) FunariadigAnsr: 1Ans : (1)
Sol. Zygotic meiosis - Haplontic life cycle eg. Chlamydomonas
Marchantia Haplo-diplontic Sporic meiosis
Fucus Diplontic Sporic meiosis
Funaria Haplo-diplontic Sporic meiosis

(1) Mycobacteria
(2) Archaebacteria
(3) Eubacteria
(4) CyanobacteriadigAnsr: 2Ans : (2)
Sol. Halophiles form of Archebacteria are found in extreme saline conditions
- Qstn #70In Bougainvillea thorns are the modifications of :
(1) Leaf
(2) Stipules
(3) Adventitious root
(4) StemdigAnsr: 4Ans : (4)
Sol. In bougainvillea the throns are modifications of stem
- Qstn #71Viroids differ from viruses in having
(1) RNA molecules without protein coat
(2) DNA molecules with protein coat
(3) DNA molecules without protein coat
(4) RNA molecules with protein coatdigAnsr: 1Ans : (1)
Sol. Viroids have only low molecular weight RNA without protein coat
- Qstn #72Adult human RBCs are enucleate. Which of the following statements(s) is / are most appropriate explanation for
this feature ?
( a) They do not need to reproduce
(b) They are somatic cells
(c) They do not metabolize
(d) All their internal space is available for oxygen transport Options :
(1) (b) and (c)
(2) Only (d)
(3) Only (a)
(4) (a), (c) and (d)digAnsr: 2Ans : (2)
Sol. Adult human RBCs are enucleated, this helps in increased availability of space for haemoglobin. This feature
is benificial for carrying more oxygen.
