Plants adapted to low light intensity have:
| 1. | Higher rate of CO2 fixation than the sun plants |
| 2. | More extended root system |
| 3. | Leaves modified to spines |
| 4. | Larger photosynthetic unit size than the sun plants |
The Ti plasmid is often used for making transgenic plants. This plasmid is found in:
1. Rhizobium of the roots of leguminous plants
2. Agrobacterium
3. Yeast as a 2 µm plasmid
4. Azotobacter
During the replication of bacterial chromosomes, DNA synthesis starts from a replication origin site and:
1. Is facilitated by telomerase
2. Moves in one direction of the size
3. Moves in a bi-directional way
4. RNA primers are involved
In a plant, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r) and tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t). If a plant with RRTt genotype is crossed with a plant that is rrtt:
1. 50% will be tall with red fruit
2. 75% will be tall with red fruit
3. All the offspring will be tall with red fruit
4. 25% will be tall with red fruit
After a mutation at a genetic locus, the character of an organism changes due to the change in:
1. DNA replication
2. Protein synthesis pattern
3. RNA transcription pattern
4. Protein structure

When CO2 concentration in blood increases, breathing becomes:
| 1. | There is no effect on breathing |
| 2. | Slow and deep |
| 3. | Faster and deeper |
| 4. | Shallower and slow |
Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
1. Vitamin B6 – Loss of appetite
2. Vitamin B1 – Beri-beri
3. Vitamin B2 – Pellagra
4. Vitamin B12 – Pernicious anemia
One of the following is a very unique feature of the mammalian body:
1. Presence of diaphragm
2. Four-chambered heart
3. Rib cage
4. Homeothermy
Chemically hormones are:
1. Proteins, steroids & biogenic amines
2. Proteins only
3. Steroids only
4. Biogenic amines only
