Question-1

T. O. Diener discovered a new infectious agent that was smaller than viruses and have the following characteristics.
  1. It causes potato spindle tuber disease.
  2. It has free RNA.
  3. Molecular weight of RNA is low.
Identify the infections agent.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

Viroids cause potato spindle tuber disease (PSTV), chrysanthemum stunt, citrus exocortis, cucumber pale fruit etc. They cause persistent infections, i.e., never recovered.


Question-2

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

Flagellum is the organ of motility in bacteria. Bacterial flagella are unistranded, equivalent to a single microtubular fibre and formed of protein called flagellin. They perform rotatory movements.

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Until 1907, auxospore formation was regarded as asexual process but now it is considered as an act of sexual process. The auxospores may be autogamous, isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous. Their pattern of formation differs in pennate and centric diatoms. Formation of hormogonia is the common method of reproduction in Nostoc which are produced by accidental breaking of trichome into several pieces. It may also be formed by death and decay of ordinary intercalary cells. Soon, the hormogonium escapes from mucilage and grows into a new filament and then into a new colony.
