Organisms And Populations
Consider a population of 10 million cells. Given the per-capita birth rate of 0.002 (per unit time) and the per-capita death rate of 0.002 (per unit time), the expected number of cells after 10 generations is
A 1 million
B 5 million
C 10 million
D 100 million

Since the per-capita birth rate equals the per-capita death rate, the population growth rate is zero. Therefore, the population size remains unchanged.
Biotechnology Principles And Processes
During PCR, primers bind to the DNA strands in the _______ step.
A Denaturation
B Extension
C Annealing
D Ligation

During the annealing step of PCR, primers bind to their complementary DNA sequences before DNA synthesis begins.
Biotechnology Principles And Processes
Given below are two statements:Assertion (A): In recombinant DNA technology, lysozyme is used for disrupting bacterial cells while cellulase is used for plant cells.Reason (R): Isolation of genetic material needs disruption of cells. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
B Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
C A is correct but R is not correct
D A is not correct but R is correct

Lysozyme digests bacterial cell walls and cellulase digests plant cell walls. Cell disruption is necessary for DNA isolation, but the reason does not explain why different enzymes are used.
Evolution
Adaptive radiation in placental mammals and Australian marsupials leading to similarity between distant species is an example of
A Divergent evolution
B Convergent evolution
C Founder effect
D Genetic drift
Show explanation
Bookmark
Try again
Placental mammals and Australian marsupials evolved similar adaptive features independently in similar habitats, demonstrating convergent evolution.
Human Health And Disease
Which of the following are secondary lymphoid organs? (a) Bone marrow (b) Tonsils (c) Spleen (d) Thymus Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A (a) and (b) only
B (b) and (c) only
C (b) and (d) only
D (a) and (d) only
Show explanation

Tonsils and spleen are secondary lymphoid organs. Bone marrow and thymus are primary lymphoid organs.
Human Reproduction
Which of the following hormones is not secreted by the human placenta?
A hCG
B Estrogen
C Progesterone
D LH
Show explanation
Bookmark
Try again
The placenta secretes hCG, hPL, estrogens, progesterone and relaxin. LH is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
Molecular Basis Of Inheritance
Which of the following enzymes synthesizes precursor mRNA?
A RNA polymerase I
B RNA polymerase II
C RNA polymerase III
D DNA polymerase
Show explanation
Bookmark
Try again
In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II synthesizes heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), the precursor of mRNA.
Biotechnology Principles And Processes
Given below are two statements:Statement I: Plasmids are autonomously replicating DNA.Statement II: Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
B Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
C Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Show explanation
Bookmark
Try again
Plasmids are small circular extrachromosomal DNA molecules that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome.
Principles Of Inheritance And Variation
For a person with blood group 'O', which of the following is not a possible combination of parents' blood group genotypes?
A Father: IA i and Mother: IB i
B Father: IA i and Mother: IA i
C Father: IB i and Mother: IB i
D Father: IA IB and Mother: IA i
Show explanation

A child with blood group O has genotype ii. Since the father (IA IB ) has no i allele, this combination cannot produce an O blood group child.
Evolution
Given below are two statements:Assertion (A): Forelimbs of humans and bats are homologous.Reason (R): Forelimbs of humans and bats have similar anatomical structure. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C A is true but R is false
D A is false but R is true
Show explanation

Human and bat forelimbs have the same basic anatomical plan due to common ancestry. They are homologous organs that have evolved to perform different functions.
