Match List I with List II.
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Clostridium butylicum | I. Ethanol |
| B. Saccharomyces cerevisiae | II. Streptokinase |
| C. Trichoderma polysporum | III. Butyric acid |
| D. Streptococcus sp. | IV. Cyclosporin-A |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Clostridium → butyric acid; Saccharomyces → ethanol; Trichoderma → cyclosporin-A; Streptococcus → streptokinase.
These are regarded as major causes of biodiversity loss:
A. Over exploitation B. Co-extinction C. Mutation D. Habitat loss and fragmentation E. Migration
Choose the correct option:
The "evil quartet" is habitat loss, over-exploitation, alien invasion and co-extinctions. Of those listed, A, B and D are valid causes.
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Chromosomes become gradually visible under light microscope during leptotene stage.
Statement II: The beginning of diplotene stage is recognized by dissolution of synaptonemal complex.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both are standard descriptions of meiotic prophase-I sub-stages.
Auxin is used by gardeners to prepare weed-free lawns. But no damage is caused to grass as auxin
2,4-D selectively kills dicot weeds; mature monocots (grasses) are unaffected.
A pink flowered Snapdragon plant was crossed with a red flowered Snapdragon plant. What type of phenotype/s is/are expected to occur in the progeny?
Incomplete dominance: $Rr \times RR \to \tfrac12 RR$ (red) $+ \tfrac12 Rr$ (pink).
Which of the following are required for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?
A. Light B. Chlorophyll C. $CO_2$ D. ATP E. NADPH
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Calvin (dark) reactions need CO₂, ATP and NADPH — not light or chlorophyll directly.
The lactose present in the growth medium of bacteria is transported to the cell by the action of:
lac operon's $\beta$-galactoside permease (lacY) transports lactose into the cell.
Identify the type of flowers based on the position of calyx, corolla and androecium with respect to the ovary from the given figures (a) and (b). (Figure (a) shows floral parts arising below the ovary; figure (b) shows floral parts arising above the ovary.)
When the ovary is superior with other parts below — hypogynous; when ovary is inferior with parts above — epigynous.
Match List I with List II.
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Rhizopus | I. Mushroom |
| B. Ustilago | II. Smut fungus |
| C. Puccinia | III. Bread mould |
| D. Agaricus | IV. Rust fungus |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Rhizopus — bread mould; Ustilago — smut; Puccinia — rust; Agaricus — mushroom.
