Consider the given two statements:
I: | Gas vacuoles, found in cyanobacteria, are membrane-bound, spindle-shaped vesicles that provides buoyancy to these cells. |
II: | Positive buoyancy is needed to keep the cells in the upper reaches of the water column, so that they can continue to perform photosynthesis. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct and II is incorrect |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
A true fungal cell wall does not contain:
1. Chitin
2. Glucans
3. Proteins
4. Cellulose
Unlike eukaryotes, bacterial membranes (with some exceptions) generally do not contain:
1. Phospholipids
2. Sterols
3. Hopanoids
4. Proteins
Consider the given two statements:
Statement-I: | Chloroplasts are considered endosymbiotic Cyanobacteria. |
Statement-II: | Cyanobacteria consist of free-living photosynthetic bacteria. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct and II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
A genophore is the DNA of a prokaryote. Though it is commonly referred to as a prokaryotic chromosome, the term “chromosome” is misleading, because:
1. | the genophore lacks chromatin |
2. | the genophore is circular rather than linear |
3. | the genophore replicates without telomeres |
4. | the genophore is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane |
Consider the given two statements:
Statements I | Carboxysomes are thought to have evolved as a consequence of the increase in oxygen concentration in the ancient atmosphere |
Statements II | Oxygen is a competing substrate to carbon dioxide in the RuBisCO reaction |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct and II is incorrect |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
If a species of bacteria has multiple strains but only some are pathogenic, it is likely that unlike the non-pathogenic strains, the pathogenic strains will have:
1. Plasmids
2. Lipopolysaccharide
3. Pili
4. Flagellum
The type of chromosomes not seen in humans are:
1. Metacentric
2. Sub-metacentric
3. Acrocentric
4. Telocentric
Cytoskeleton elements involved in intracellular transport, the formation of the axoneme of cilia and flagella and the mitotic spindle, are:
1. Microfilaments
2. Intermediate filaments
3. Microtubules
4. FTS-Z
The largest structures passed through the nuclear pores are:
1. | rDNA | 2. | Lamin proteins |
3. | mRNA | 4. | Ribosome subunits |
