IV. Undergo nuclear mitosis
Which of the above relate to fungi?
(1) I, II and III
(2) I, III and IV
(3) II, III and IV
(4) I, II, III and IV
How many of the following statements regarding fungi are true?
| I. | Asexual reproduction is common by the formation of spores. |
| II. | Their bodies consist of hyphae that many be interconnected to form mycelium. |
| III. | They secrete digestive enzymes onto organic matter and then absorb the products of the digestion. |
| IV. | Fungi can break down almost any carbon containing product. |
| V. | Fungi do not enter symbiotic relationships. |
1. 2
2. 3
3. 4
4. 5
Identify the group of fungi that is not correctly matched with all the characters given below:
| 1. | Phycomycetes: | Mycelium – aseptate and coenocytic / Asexual reproduction by motile zoospores or by nonmotile aplanospores / spores – endogenously produced in the sporangium |
| 2. | Ascomycetes: | Mycelium – unbranched and septate / Asexual spores are conidia / Conidia produced endogenously on conidiophores. |
| 3. | Basidiomycetes: | Mycelium–branched and septate / Asexual spores are generally not found. |
| 4. | Deuteromycetes: | Only the asexual or vegetative phase of these fungi are known. |
Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Virus has a protein coat called capsid made of small subunits called capsomeres. |
| 2. | The core has the genetic material - either RNA or DNA or both. |
| 3. | The capsomeres are arranged in helical or icosahedral forms. |
| 4. | Viruses can infect any type of organism. |
Consider the following regarding the reasons for the fact that now Cyanobacteria are kept in Monera and not in Plantae:
I. They are prokaryotes.
II. The cell wall of cyanobacteria has peptidoglycan.
III. They can fix atmospheric nitrogen
The Corrcet explanations would be:
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
Which of the following statements regarding Euglenoids is not true?
| 1. | Instead of a cell wall, they have a lipid rich pellicle |
| 2. | They have two flagella, a short and a long one |
| 3. | They are photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight but behave like a heterotroph when deprived of sunlight |
| 4. | Pigments of Euglenoids are identical to those present in higher plants |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. Diatoms: Chief producers in oceans
2. Dinoflagellates: Red tides
3. Slime moulds: Spores dispersed by water
4. Euglenoids: Protein rich pellicle
Identify the incorrect statement :
1. Heterotrophic bacteria are important decomposers
2. Diatoms are chief producers in the oceans
3. The pigments of Euglenoids are identical to those present in higher plants
4. Very few protozoans are autotrophs
Members of Kingdom Protista
1. are primarily aquatic
2. do not have membrance bound organelles
3. are all ciliated or flagellated
4. reproduce exclusively by asexual means
