Biologists have established certain procedures and techniques to store and preserve the information as well as specimens. Amongst these which one has collection of both preserved plant and animal specimens?

 1 Zoological parks

2 Herbarium

3 Museum

4 Botanical gardens

Mark the correct statements with respect to living organisms 

1 Growth and cellular organisation are considered as defining properties of living organisms

2 Reproduction can be all inclusive defining characteristic of living organisms

3 Living organisms are self replicating, self regulating and evolving interesting systems

4 isolated metabolic reactions in vitro are living things

Study of diversity of organisms and evolutionary relationship amongst them on the basis of all possible characters is called as

1 Taxonomy

2 Systematics

3 Alpha-taxonomy

4 Phylogeny

Which statements is incorrect with respect to genus?

1 Each genus may have one or more than one specific epithets

2 It comprises a group of related species

3 It has more characters in common in comparison to species of other genera

4 Potato and brinjal belong to different genus

Choose the wrong statements with respect to distinguishing characteristics of living beings

1 In majority of higher, the growth and reproduction are mutually exclusive events

2 Degrowth will occur when catabolism exceeds anabolism

3 Isolated metabolic relations in-vitro are neither living things nor living reactions

4 Growth cannot be taken as a defining property of living organisms if we take increase in body mass as a criterion on growth

Select incorrect statements with respect to living beings

1 Growth cannot be taken as a defining property of living organisms

2 Growth can be easily observed in vitro culture

3 Metabolic reactions cannot be demonstrated outside the body in cell-free system

4 All organisms, from the prokaryotes to the most complex eukaryotes can sense and respond to environmental cues

What is incorrect for taxonomic hierarchy?

1 There are 7 obligate and more than 21 intermediate categories

2 Higher the category, fewer the number of organism

3 Lower the category, more the number of common features

4 Greatest similarity in structure is found in between members of a species

Genus represents aggregate of closely related species. Which of the following group of species does not belong to same genus?

1 Potato, Brinjal

2 Brinjal, makoi

3 Lion, Leopard

4 Potato, Sweet potato

First step of taxonomy is

1 Classification

2 Nomenclature

3 Identification

4 Characterisation

Living organisms exhibit distinctive characteristics to differentiate from non-living objects. Which one of the following statements can be considered as defining property of living things?

1 Increase in body mass as a criterion for growth

2 Reproduction is synonymous with growth in unicellular organisms

3 Ability of living organisms to sense their surroundings

4 Metabolic sections that can be demonstrated outside the body in cell-free system only
