Question-1

What are the sex organs provided in some bacteria?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Sex pili are minute and non-flagellar hair like structures projecting from the wall of many Gram negative bacteria and few Gram positive ones. They are entirely composed of a protein called pilin. They are used as sex organs during conjugation, forms conjugation tube during conjugation. They confer the property of stickiness whereby bacteria tend to adhere to one another (clump formation). Naked circular DNA is the genetic material which is not enclosed by nuclear membrane and non complexed with proteins. It is called nucleoid or genophore. Plasmids (Hayes and Lederberg, 1952) are additional or extrachromosomal small rings of DNA having a few useful but non-vital genes, e.g., for fertility factor, R-factors or resistance factor.


Question-2

Which one of the following living organisms completely lacks a cell wall?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

Gorgonia (sea-fan) is an animal belonging to Phylum Coelenterata. All animals lack cell wall.


Question-3

What is true for cyanobacteria?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Cyanobacteria are gram negative prokaryotes which are popularly known as blue - green algae. Although cyanobacteria are true prokaryotes, but their photosynthetic system closely resembles with that of eukaryotes because they have chlorophyll a and photosystem II and they carry out oxygenic photosynthesis. Like the red algae, cyanobacteria use phycobiliproteins as accessory pigments. Photosynthetic pigments and electron transport chain components are located in thylakoid membranes lined with particles called phycobilisomes, which contain phycobilin pigments, particularly phycocyanin and transfer energy to photosystem II. They contain nitrogenase enzyme for nitrogen fixation. This enzyme becomes inactive in the presence of oxygen but the thick walled heterocysts provide suitable anaerobic enviornment for nitrogenase activity even in aerobic conditions.


Question-4

Which of the following is correct about the slime mould ?
  1. Its thalloid body, Plasmodium has pseudopodia for locomotion and engulfing organic matter.
  2. During unfavourable conditions Plasmodium differentiates and produces fruiting bodies, sporangium.
  3. Spores posses no true cell wall.
  4. They are dispersed by air current.
  5. Being extremely resistant, spores survive for many years.
  6. Plasmodium can grow upto several feet.
