2. (3)
Scientific names are meant to avoid multiple
naming and provide a universal way to refer to
organisms.
3. (2)
Systematics is not a basic process in taxonomy;
rather, it's a broader field that includes taxonomy
as a part of its study.
4. (4)
Potato and brinjal are two different Species but
both belongs to the genus Solanum.
In Mangifera indica, Mangifera and indica are
generic and Species epithets, respectively.
5. (3)
Dikaryon (n + n) condition is seen in ascomycetes
& basidiomycetes. Sex organs are absent in
basidiomycetes. Therefore, correct answer is

The bacterium that develops flavor in tea and
tobacco leaves is Bacillus megaterium.
7. (2)
Aristotle classified plants into trees, shrubs and
herbs on the basis of simple morphological
characters. He also classified animals into two
groups, Anaima and Enaima. Enaima included
vertebrates having red blood cells and Anaima
included vertebrates having no red blood cells.
8. (2)
Slime moulds are saprophytic protists. Their
vegetative phase is represented by a free living,
mass of protoplasm (called plasmodium) without
walls and produce haploid spores which are
dispersed by air currents.
9. (3)
In an artificial system of classification, organisms
are classified based on a few selected characters
or criteria that are chosen for convenience or
practical purposes, rather than considering their
evolutionary relationships or phylogenetic trends.
This system does not aim to reflect the true natural
relationships between organisms but is used for
ease of identification and categorization.
10. (4)
(1) Many species of Porphyra, Laminaria, and
Sargassum are indeed among the
approximately 70 species of marine algae
that are used as food.
(2) Agar is commonly used for growing
microbes in laboratory settings and is also
used in the preparation of ice creams and
jellies.
(3) Algae have various uses and are indeed
beneficial to humans in multiple ways, such
as providing food, serving as a source of
agar, and contributing to the environment.
11. (4)
Majority of them are fresh water organisms found
in stagnant water. Instead of a cell wall, they have
a protein rich layer called pellicle which makes
their body flexible.
They have two flagella, a short and a long one.
Though they are photosynthetic in the presence of
sunlight, when deprived of sunlight they behave
like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller
organisms. Interestingly, the pigments of
euglenoids are identical to those present in higher
plants.
12. (2)
Elaters are present in the sporogonium of
Marchantia, which is a liverwort. Elaters are
specialized, hygroscopic, and ribbon-like cells
found in the capsules of some non-vascular plants
like liverworts, including Marchantia. They play a
role in spore dispersal by responding to changes in
humidity and helping to release spores into the
environment.
13. (4)
Bryophytes, which include mosses, liverworts,
and hornworts, are simple plants that lack vascular
tissues like xylem and phloem. They are
characterized by having a dominant gametophytic
generation, filamentous structures called rhizoids
for anchorage, and they are typically found in
amphibious habitats where they require water for
sexual reproduction. However, they lack the
complex vascular tissues found in more advanced
plants like ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.

"Has nodes and internodes" is the correct
distinguishing feature of ginger and other stems
from roots. Stems typically have nodes (points of
leaf attachment) and internodes (the regions
between nodes), which are not present in roots.
21. (4)
"It is arranged in basipetal order" is incorrect.
Leaves are typically arranged in an acropetal order
on the stem, meaning that the younger leaves are
located near the tip or apex of the stem, while
older leaves are found towards the base of the
stem. Basipetal order would imply the reverse,
with younger leaves at the base and older leaves at
the tip, which is not the usual arrangement for
leaves on a stem.
22. (4)
"Leaf is not a transpiring organ" is false. Leaves
are indeed transpiring organs. Transpiration is the
process by which water is lost from the aerial
parts of a plant, primarily through small openings
called stomata in the epidermis of leaves. This
loss of water vapor from leaves is an essential part
of the plant's physiology, as it helps in the uptake
of water and nutrients from the soil and the
movement of water and nutrients throughout the
plant.

The position of mother axis with respect to the

The style is not the receptive surface for pollen
grains. The stigma is the receptive surface where
pollen grains land and germinate to form pollen
tubes for fertilization. The style connects the
stigma to the ovary, providing a pathway for
pollen tubes to reach the ovules inside the ovary.

In Gymnosperms, the phloem lacks both the sieve
tube and the corresponding cells. Instead they
contain sieve cells for food material conduction.

Sclerenchyma.

Aestivation is the arrangements of accessory floral
organs (sepals or petals) in relation to one another
in floral bud. It may be of open, valvate, twisted
or imbricate type. In imbricate aestivation there is
an irregular overlapping of petals or sepals by one
another. Cassia, gulmohar, etc., show imbricate
aestivation.

The German botanist who examined a large

composed of different kinds of cells which form

33. (3)
The structure of cell membrane was proposed by
Singer and Nicolson (1972) widely accepted as
fluid mosaic model. According to this, the quasi-
fluid nature of lipid enables lateral movement of
proteins within the overall bilayer. This ability to
move within the membrane is measured as its
fluidity. The fluid nature of the membrane is
important for functions like cell growth, formation
of intercellular junctions, secretion, endocytosis,
cell division etc.
34. (4)
The ER is not found in all living cells. Some cells,
like mature red blood cells in mammals, lack a
nucleus and many membrane-bound organelles,
including the ER.
35. (4)
Axoneme is the central strand of a cilium or
flagellum. It is composed of an array of
microtubules, typically in nine pairs around two
single central ones. Cilia and flagella is made of
the axoneme which is composed of microtubules
and their associated proteins.
36. (3)
After G1, the cells enter the S phase or the
synthesis phase.
DNA replication occurs during the S phase.
This implies the duplication of the (2n)
chromosomes or 2*(2n) = 4n.
4n = 4pg (at S-phase)
Haploid cell DNA content =1pg
37. (2)
The stage of cell division at which the
morphology of chromosomes is most easily
studied is Metaphase. During metaphase, the
chromosomes align along the equatorial plane of
the cell, making them highly visible and easily
observable under a microscope.
38. (1)
The sites at which crossing over occurs between
non-sister chromatids of homologous
chromosomes. Recombination nodules, also
known as chiasmata, are the locations where
genetic recombination or crossing over takes place
between non-sister chromatids of homologous
chromosomes during meiosis. This is an important
process in generating genetic diversity among
offspring.
39. (4)
Anaphase I of meiosis is characterized by the
splitting of the centromere of homologous
chromosomes, leading to the separation of
homologous chromosome pairs and their
movement to opposite poles of the cell. This is in
contrast to anaphase II, where the centromere
splits, separating sister chromatids.
40. (3)
In China rose the flowers are actinomorphic, i.e.,
it can be divided into two equal radial halves any
radial plane passing through the centre; they are
hypogynous, i.e., the gynoecium occupies the
highest position, while the other parts are situated
below it; they have twisted aestivation, i.e., one
margin of petal overlaps that of the next one and
so on.

46. (4)
provided options are correct.
In photosynthesis, several factors can limit the
rate of the process. These include light intensity,
carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.
When one of these factors becomes limiting,
increasing the intensity of that factor beyond a
certain point won't result in a proportional
increase in the rate of photosynthesis. Instead, the
process will be limited by whichever factor is in
shortest supply. In the case of higher light
intensities, other factors like CO2 concentration or
temperature might become limiting, which is why
the rate of photosynthesis doesn't continue to
increase indefinitely.
