Ans: (d)
Sol. Phytochrome is a photoreceptor, a pigment that plants use to detect light. The most
important plant responses regulated by the phytochrome system include photoperiodic
induction of flowering. As angiosperms are the flowering plants, the phytochromes are
present in angiosperms.
47. Bears undergo a period of ______ to escape stress during winter?

Ans: (a)
Sol. Hibernation is the winter sleep. In winters, some animals go into very deep sleep and their
metabolic rate slows down to save energy. It also lowers their body temperature than
normal. For example, bear, tortoise, ground squirrel and many reptiles.

each mutant would grow when different additives, P, Q, R, S and T were used. ‘+’ indicates
growth and ‘-‘ indicates the inability to grow in the mutants tested. Find out the correct
sequence of additives in the biosynthetic pathway of ‘X’?

In additive S, only mutant 2 grows.
In additive Q, only the mutants 2 and 4 grow.
In additive R, mutants 2, 3 and 4 grow.
And in additive T, all the mutants 1, 2, 3 and 4 grow.
Therefore, the correct sequence of additives in the biosynthetic pathway of 'X' would be
P→S→Q→R→T
50. A bacterial dsDNA molecule, 2988 bp in length, was found to have the following
composition?
T C A G
Strand I 348 X 1400
Strand II 650 Y
The respective values of X and Y are
(a) 1400 and 590 (b) 590 and 1400
(c) 590 and 590 (d) None of the above
Ans: (c)
Sol. In strand I number of adenine(A) = Number of thymine in strand II = 650
Therefore, 'X' = 2988 – (348 + 650 + 1400)
= 2988 – 2398 = 590

Page # 28
 Similarly, in strand II numbers of A and C will be 348 and 1400 respectively.
Therefore, Y = 2988 – (348 + 650 + 1400) = 590

(a) AB+ve (b) O+ve (c) AB-ve (d) A+ve and B+ve
Ans: (d)
Sol. Let the father's blood group be AB+ve and that of the mother be O+ve. The genotype of the
father will be IAIB. Therefore, the gametes will be IA and IB. The genotype of the mother will
be IOIO. The gamete will be IO. These gametes on crossing can give two possibilities
IAIO or IBIO. Thus, the genotype of the child will be IAIO or IBIO. So, the child can have either
blood group A+ve or B+ve.
53. The reaction below represents:
Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi + 2NAD+ → 2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH (+ H+) + 2 H2O
(a) The citric acid cycle (b) Pyruvate oxidation
(c) Glycolysis (d) Substrate – level phosphorylation
Ans: (c)
Sol. Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that brings about breakdown of glucose into
two molecules of pyruvic acid through enzyme mediated reactions
The net reaction of glycolysis is -
Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi + 2NAD+ → 2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH (+ H+) + 2 H2O

54. The genetically modified (GM) brinjal developed in India has the property of -
(a) enhanced shelf life (b) drought-resistance
(c) insect-resistance (d) enhanced nutrient content
Ans: (c)
Sol. The genetically modified brinjal or Bt brinjal developed in India has the property of insect
resistance. It was developed using a transformation process similar to the one used in the
development of Bt cotton. Bt brinjal incorporates the cry1Ac gene expressing insecticidal
protein to provide resistance against fruit and shoot borers (FSB), which are insect pests.
The cry1Ac gene is obtained from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). When
ingested by the FSB larvae, the Bt protein is activated in the insect’s alkaline gut and binds
to the gut wall, which breaks down, allowing the Bt spores to invade the insect’s body cavity.
The insect larvae die a few days later.
55. Bird’s lungs have additional air sacs which are related with all of the following except
(a) Providing fresh air to lungs during inspiration as well as expiration
(b) Reduction in body weight
(c) Providing internal cooling
(d) Increased area for gaseous exchange
Ans: (d)
Sol. Bird’s lungs have additional air sacs which are related with providing fresh air to lung both
during inspiration and expiration, reducing body weight and providing internal cooling. But
these air sacs are not directly involved in exchange of gases. The air sacs permit a
unidirectional flow of air through the lungs. Unidirectional flow means that air moving
through bird lungs is largely 'fresh' air & has a higher oxygen content.
56. The body symmetry and coelom type are similar in
(a) Annelids and arthropods
(b) Annelids and sponges
(c) Annelids and platyhelminths
(d) Molluscs and echinoderms
Ans: (a)

Page # 30
Sol. Annelids show bilateral symmetry and have true coelom.
Sponges are mostly asymmetrical and acoelomate.
Platyhelminths are bilaterally symmetrical and acoelomate.
Arthropods show bilateral symmetry and have true coelom.
Molluscs and echinoderms are both coelomates. Molluscs show bilateral symmetry only,
while Echinodermata exhibits radial or bilateral symmetry depending on the stage.
57. Process of degeneration of follicles or eggs in ovary is called
(a) metagenesis (b) menstruation
(c) menopause (d) atresia
Ans: (d)
Sol. Ovarian follicle atresia is the periodic process in which immature ovarian follicles
degenerate and are subsequently re-absorbed during the follicular phase of the menstrual
cycle. Generally, around 20 follicles mature each month and only a single follicle is ovulated.
The rest undergo atresia.
58. The lymph differs from the blood in having
(a) more RBCs and less WBCs (b) no RBCs, only WBCs
(c) plasma without proteins (d) equal number of RBCs and WBCs
Ans: (b)
Sol. Lymph is a fluid connective tissue which mainly contains white blood cells and fluid in the
intercellular spaces. It is a clear, colourless fluid which contains less proteins and lipids and
white blood cells (WBCs), mostly lymphocytes.
Blood is composed of RBCs, WBCs and platelets along with the liquid part. Lymph which
contains less protein and lacks red blood cells, differs from the blood because it possesses
only WBCs.
59. What is the correct sequence in the pathway of the reflex arc?
(a) Effector organ, gray matter, motor fibres, sensory fibres and receptors
(b) Sensory fibres, gray matter, motor fibres, receptors and effector organ
(c) Receptors, sensory fibres, gray matter, motor fibres and effector organ
(d) Receptors, sensory fibres, effector organ, gray matter and motor fibres

Page # 31
Ans: (c)
Sol. The correct route of reflex arc is:
Receptors → sensory fibres → gray matter → motor fibres → effectors

60. The increased level of albumin in the urine is most likely due to
(a) Damage to the Malpighian corpuscles
(b) Damage to the distal convoluted tubules
(c) decrease in the blood osmotic pressure
(d) rise in the blood pressure
Ans: (a)
Sol. The normal urinary excretion of albumin is less than 30 mg/day. An increase in urinary
albumin excretion is indicative of increased permeability of the filtering cells of the kidney in
the glomerulus, which is a part of Malpighian corpuscle of the kidney.
