parenchyma cells are living and thin-walled, and their

110. (d) Epidermal tissue system forms outer covering of plant,
which is in direct contact with external environment.
The tissue system consists of the epidermis derived
from protoderm and its associated structers; epidermal
outgrowths. The cells perform different functions like
protection, absorption, excretion, gaseous exchange,
secretion and control of transpiration, etc.
The tissue present between epidermis and vascular
tissue system constitutes ground tissue system. It
forms the major part of a plant's body.
Vascular tissue system is composed of a number of
vascular bundles, present in the central cylinder or
column of the axis of root and stem which is known as
stele. The vascular bundle is composed of primary
xylem, primary phloem and cambium.
111. (c) AIDS is caused by HIV. When HIV enters into helper
T-cells, it replicates and produces other viruses that

lactic acid and acetaldehyde.
115. (c) Sacred forests (= sacred groves) are forest patches
around places of worship which are held in high esteem
by tribal communities. They are the most undisturbed
forest patches (island of pristine forests) which are
often surrounded by highly degraded landscapes.
They are found in several parts of India, e.g., Karnataka,
Maharashtra, Rajasthan, etc. Many endemic species
which are rare or have become extinct elsewhere can
be seen to flourish here.

two zones, the outer light coloured and functional
sapwood or alburnum which is involved in the
conduction of water and minerals from root to leaf and
the inner darker and nonfunctional heartwood or
duramen. The heartwood is stronger and more durable
than the sapwood and provide resistant to the attacks
of micro-organisms and insects.

down of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, heme

127. (b) Colchicine is an alkaloid obtained from the plant
Colchicum autumnale. During mitosis it does not
interfere with the replication of chromosome but
prevents the formation of spindle fibres. During
metaphase it inhibits the assemblage of microtubules
hence spindle formation does not occur. Colchicine is
used to induce polyploidy in plant breeding.
128. (b) pH of the guard cells rises due to active H +
concentration. A rise pH causes hydrolysis of starch
to form malic acid. Malic acid dissociates into H+ and
malate. H+ ions pass out of the guard cells in exchange
for K+ ions. This lowers the osmotic potential of guard
cells. As a result movement of water begins from
neighbouring cells into guard cells which leads to
opening of stomata.

nucleotide sequences that are repeated many times,
sometimes hundred to thousand times. They have no
direct coding function but provide information as to
chromosome structure, dynamics and evolution. They
represent junk DNA.
163. (c) mRNA has some additional sequences that are not
translated and are referred as untranslated regions
(UTRs). The UTRs are present at both 5'-end (before

required for efficient translation process.
164. (d) Statins are products of fermentation by yeast
Monascus purpureus which resemble mevalovate and
are competitive inhibitors of b–hydroxy-b–
methylglutary or HMG CoA reductase. This inhibits
cholesterol synthesis. Statins are, therefore, used in
lowering blood cholesterol, e.g., lovastatin, pravastatin,
simvastatin.
165. (c) Plasmids are extra-chromosomal, self replicating,
usually circular, double stranded DNA molecules found
naturally in many bacteria and also in some yeast.
Plasmids are usually not essential for normal cell growth
and division, they often confer some traits to the host
organism e.g., resistance to certain antibiotics. The
plasmid that is used as carrier for transferring a fragment
of foreign DNA into a suitable host is called vehicle
DNA or cloning vector or gene carrier.
166. (a) Primers are small, chemically synthesized
oligonucleotides that are complementary to the
sequences present at 3' end of the template DNA. They

of the double helix. These primers are oriented with
their ends facing each other allowing synthesis of the
DNA towards one another.
