| 1. | The two overlapping shells of cell wall fit together as in a soap box. |
| 2. | They are the chief ‘producers’ in the oceans. |
| 3. | Their cell walls are embedded with silica. |
| 4. | Diatoms behave like heterotrophs when deprived of sunlight. |
| 1. | These organisms are naturally resistant to antibiotics that inhibit protein biosynthesis |
| 2. | These organisms are naturally resistant to antibiotics that target the cell wall |
| 3. | These organisms are naturally resistant to antibiotics that inhibit DNA replication |

| 4. | Karyogamy — Plasmogamy — Meiosis in zygote |
| 1. | Large number of members of deuteromycetes are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling |
| 2. | Sex organs are absent in basidiomycetes but plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of the nuclei of the gametes |
| 3. | The asexual spores produced by ascomycetes are conidia, produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores |
| 4. | In ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, an intervening dikaryon stage exists before the fusion of parental nuclei |
| 1. | An agent which causes mosaic formation in plants |
| 2. | An agent having DNA |
| 3. | An agent which consists of abnormally folded protein and is similar in size to viruses |
| 4. | The same agent which causes potato spindle tuber disease |
