(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-3

In vitro clonal propagation in plants is characterized by

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Clonal propagation can be characterized by PCR and RAPD. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, generates microgram (mg) quantities of DNA copies (upto billion copies) of the desired DNA (or RNA) segment, present even as a single copy in the initial preparation, in a matter of few hours. RAPD stands for Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA. It is a type of PCR, but the segments of DNA that are amplified are random. No knowledge of the DNA sequence for the targeted gene is required, as the primers will bind somewhere in the sequence, but it is not certain exactly where. Its resolving power is much lower than targeted, species specific DNA comparison methods, such as short tandem repeats.


Question-4

The technique of regeneration of whole plant from any part of a plant by allowing it to grow on a suitable culture under aseptic sterile conditions in vitro is called

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-5

Assertion (A) Light is an essential component of poultry farm management.
Reason (R) Exposure to 14-16 hours of light ensures optimum production of eggs.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Light is an essential component of poultry farm management because it determines the quantity of egg production. An exposure to 14-16 hours of light period during daytime ensures optimum production of eggs.
