    Mendel’s law of independent assortment is seen
    in :
    (a) Metaphase I (b) Metaphase II
    (c) Anaphase I (d) Anaphase II

  2. Inflorescence of Cauliflower is

    (a) Corymb (b) Catkin

    (c) Umbel (d) Compound corymb

  3. Which of the following organelle is common
    between plants and animals?
    (a) Chloroplast (b) Centriole
    (c) Mitochondria (d) Cell wall

  4. Read the given statements and select the correct
    options
    I. The amount of biomass or organic matter
    produced per unit area over a time period in
    plants during photosynthesis is called primary
    production.
    II. Sugarcane have more efficiency to trap

    sunlight, so they accumulate more primary
    productivity.
    III. Productivity is expressed in g-2 yr-1 or (kcal

    m-2) yr-1.
    IV. Primary production is expressed in terms of
    weight (g-2 ) or energy (kcal m-2).
    (a) I , II and III (b) II and IV
    (c) I and IV (d) I, II, III and IV

  5. Match the following:
    Column I Column II
    A. Chargaff 1. Wilkins and Franklin
    B. Replicon 2. Uptake of lactose
    C. Permease 3. hn-RNA
    D. Split gene 4. Length of DNA


E.  X-ray   diffraction  5. (A+G)   =   (C+T)   
(a) A - 5, B - 4, C - 1, D - 3, E - 2
(b) A - 5, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3, E - 4
(c) A - 5, B - 4, C - 2, D - 3, E - 1
(d) A - 5, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1, E - 3



  1.  The DNA fragments   separated   on   an  agarose    gel 

    can be visualised after staining with
    (a) Acetocarmine (b) Aniline blue
    (c) Ethidium bromide (d) Bromophenol blue



  2. Tunica differs from corpus in
    (a) Position (b) Rate of growth
    (c) Plane of division (d) Rate of activity

  3. What would happen if oxygen availability to
    activated sludge flocs is reduced?
    (a) It will slow down the rate of degradation of
    organic matter
    (b) The center of flocs will become anoxic, which

    would cause death of bacteria and eventually
    breakage of flocs
    (c) Flocs would increase in size as anaerobic
    bacteria would grow around flocs

    (d) Protozoa would grow in large number

  4. All types of plastids possess essentially the same
    structure because they
    (a) Perform the same function
    (b) Store food materials like starch, fat and

    protein
    (c) Occur in aerial parts
    (d) Can transform from one form to another

  5. Snails and fishes undergo
    (a) Hibernation (b) Diapause
    (c) Migration (d) Aestivation
